Default It's about that time of the year

Who else is ready for spring? I haven't really had a chance to drive my Monte since the intake manifold swap. With rain in the forecast this week it should be out an about later this week after the roads have washed off. Car meets are starting the first week of April here too and I am planning on going to quite a few this year.

Is the wait killing anyone else?

I know car season is right around the corner. It has been in the 70s and 80s here for a couple weeks but so dry. It's like the roads are gravel since we haven't had any rain in a couple months to clean the aftermath of winter away.

LOL About the time our winter remnants get washed away, it snows again!!!
I guess I would not be so irritated if my car was completely ready...LOL Was supposed to go work on my brakes tonight but cannot drive it anywhere with rain/snow because the wipers are non functional...LOL ARGHHH Oh well, I will just remain calm as it does not appear that we will get to race Saturday unless the temp increases by about 10 degrees..LOL
I also need to get some good pics taken so I can turn my pic in for MOTM. The pics I have right now are not fit to be on any calendar!!

I'm really hoping that when I visit the Poconos for Easter that the weather is nice enough that I can get the Monte and 68 Camaro out of storage and fired up for the first time this year

It got really warm here now cooled off into the 30s. Hopefully all the forcasted rain stays just that and not snow or ice. I have been patiently waiting for the past couple months haha Just kinda farting around with some stuff here and there to tide me over.

I remember I took tons of pictures for my last MOTM and ended up choosing a picture that was almost 2 years old

is the 68 yours? I remember a thread you may have posted a picture of it but I forget what it looks like also. Hopefully the weather cooperates for you. I am hoping for nice weather on the 11th of next month. That will be the day I do my updated dyno session.

Buffalo NY weather. It was getting steady high 30s and 40s and washing the salt off with rain and then gave us a few inches of snow one night and back goes the salt on the roads..... And back into the teens at night. Hopping it's going to break soon because a few friends and I are going to go to Watkins Glen speedway for there first track day at the end of April.
