Default The Cat is out of hibernation

It was 12 degrees C here in Barrie today (about 52 for you
Folks down South) so I washed a ton of stuff off the wife's car and the Jag was calling to me from the other side. Soooo, I took the cover off, unhooked the battery maintainer and got in for the first time since Oct first. All the memories were still valid and she started in a micro-second. Ran her till she was fully warm then parked her back inside for a bit longer. I want to see the first rains get all that salt off the roads (and grit) before she goes out. Won't be long. She sure did sound good.

You all SUCK except eaglexkr...just kidding!

I still have 2 feet of snow in my back yard here in Manitoba but we are experiencing a very rare early melt off so I'm hopin' to get it back on the road by the end of April. Am I living in a fool's paradise? Perhaps.
