Anyone else have spring fever?Only since Oct. :o, LOL. Pretty hard to complain, really. Around here, Dec. was hell, but Nov./Jan. were pretty good. Feb. has been really good & looks to be long term too, been around 0ºC/32ºF for a good bunch of days & looking ahead too. Was on the Roof of my place yesterday shoveling snow off helping the melt get a head start :cheers:.

Did a little start and warm up routine last week! Sunny and dry so didn't mind pulling her out of her cozy garage. (Funny enough to get some ski stuff out of the garage) I think it's even more painful to hear the LT5 running this time of year.

I agree it hasn't been a bad winter but for some reason seems to be dragging on. I get spring fever every year around this time and really look forward to those warm spring days.. oh and get the Vette out of hibernation.

Yep, for sure! I haven't done much with the car this winter, so especially anxious to get more quality time with it.
Anyone going to the 20th Anniversary party in BG? I considered it, but decided it's too early - too close to rainy season - to take it on an excursion. I may take in the Wasaga Beach run this year though.
Life's great!

I took my car out once in the rain - damn thing melted away, leaving only the tires and a snickers from the console - I'll never let that happen again!:thumbsup:

Take your point - just don't cherish cleaning it underneath several times a year and can't live with it being dirty....

It's never too early. I'm trying to get a group from Michigan to attend the event. So far I only have one potential. I'm pushing hard to get some club members out, but it's tough. After the alternator issue last year, I'm ready to put more miles on this car. Let's roll!

I am the same way. If I get caught in the rain its not so bad but if there is a chance of rain I leave the car home. The 93 has never seen rain so it is very clean especially on the underside. I know it sounds dumb to some guys but that would piss me off if I got caught in the rain and had to spend a weekend detailing the entire car. But hey spring is here!!

Good luck.

Taking the car out of storage today. New shifter (Shorter) came in the mail today. Will install on over the weekend. Getting her ready!!!! :thumbsup:

Started her up on Saturday. Moved her out of the garage and put away all the winter ski stuff. IT was about 15 degrees and it was awfully tempting to do a first cruise. However Insurance will hold me back another 6 weeks for so.

20c+ in Ontario this weekend :thumbsup: All I have to do now is get the cars stored in behind the 90 moved and we will be roaming the streets.
Best wishes to all for a bright and wonderful Easter weekend.

It was a beautiful weekend. Went for a long hike with my wife and dog (two individual creatures ;) ). Then started to look at the ZR-1, it's been running very poorly since taking it out of storage. No codes that I could see, so I started with the basics.
Changed the plugs and the Dragon is flying on both wings again! :thumbsup:
Number 8 is a pain!
Went for an evening blast down some quiet backroads where I could open it up a little to test fully. The grin is back! :D

I feel for you Ryan - I've been driving since early April which is very nice, but certainly not normal here!
That said I did leave for the gathering half a day early because the forecast was for 10cm the following morning and I didn't want to have our vacation spoiled at the beginning.
Hope it clears up for you soon!

Ryan, have you posted a story about finding your black '90?

Still have to get some good pics of it, catching up on engine stuff since getting back...just finished porting some LS1 heads ? hour ago today as a matter of fact. Pics soon...maybe a story :o
