Default Quick run today

OK just came back from a quick 1/2 hour run . It rained (poured) the last 2 days here and was in the 50's. So by this morning temps went back down to the 30's and the roads were washed clean of the salt and calcium mix. Took the car down from the lift and checked fluids and cranked it up. All systems a go and took off for the local roads and then our state parkway. Did 1 Ferrari tune up but there were a few LEO's out so had to modulate the go peddle. Topped off the fuel tank and put it back to bed on the lift after a dust down. Back to sleep until next time maybe in March.

Default New update

So my last drive was when I made this post on 1/24. Well today after some rain and a few dry warm days we went out for a little cruise. Weather was 76* and sunny so it was a good time to get the car down and take a drive. Just did 50 miles but had all of the fluids up to normal temps and also blew out some of the dust in the tailpipes. Once again went through the normal run check list and tested all of the equipment. So I just put it down and did the after oil check and all is well. Happy motoring.

Yes, 86 here now. Rode the bike instead of the car. Rain storm just washed it off so I'm stuck at work for another hour waiting for the remnants to blow over...

40's and rain so car for the rest of the week.

I drive mine everyday too since I live in Pasadena. But lately Ive been thinking about making it an every other day car and put the XJ40 to use too. Glad you had fun with it!

Drove mine to work with the top down today. Probably will on the way home too, although there is rain threatening. Top down weather is my favorite time of the year!

The roads are pretty salt free right now around MA. That could change in a couple of days. We are expected some snow again.

It is not top down weather here, for me anyway, yet. The high here today is only supposed to be 65. I see snow birds, from the arctic regions like Minnesota and Wisconsin, with their tops down, but not me.

Hopefully next month...
