Default Winter!

Well, here in my parts of good ole' Canada we currently have a foot of snow... therefore; Withdrawal! My baby's been put away since November .As MJR46 and I discussed earlier, the only good thing about it is the eggnog and spiced rum. But I gotta admit, for all those who are in my "shoes" as well, does not that first initial ride just beat all! Take off the cover, check the fluids, connect the battery and start "er up. IMO, about the only feeling that comes close to losing your virginity. I go through a set of tires every year, on the first day. But I gotta be honest and say I get the odd tear here and there cause I miss her! Anyhow, I guess this thread's really about nothing. So what about if anybody posts absolutely anything for encouragement for all those out there who's in the same situation. Thanks guys and gals and Merry Christmas to everyone!

I suppose that's true but my good ole' rocking corolla isn't much of a pusher! O well, it gets me from .A-.B. Here's a question for ya MJ. You seem to be a pretty "learned" guy, and since you have a notch I know you could visualize what I'm talking about. What do you think about putting a 4 eye front and bumper (let's say off of a '82,'83 gt) on a 92 notch? Follow it up with a cobra rear bumper from cervinis and I think you got aa pretty badass looking car. In MM&FF a guy did it but put capri fenders and didn't have the rear. Anyhow I'll post a pic of it in a second. Thanks guys!

I guess I'm just trying to think of something that differs from the rest. There's only so many products out there so it's hard not to look like everybody.

If you want to be different going from an aero nose to 4 eye would be great. If i didnt have the 5.0 badges on my car alot of people wouldnt know what it is. And the GLX confuses them even more.

I have yet to see another nice 4 eye around here, its nice.

Yeah, I take my car apart every winter to do body work for the past two years. I think i might get to paint this spring. I have many withdraws from driving my car. I like to play need for speed to get my fix. It actually helps. When I tear my car apart it keeps me from driving it in the winter!!!!
