Default stating to get spring fever

I love days like to it was so nice at 80 degrees I couldn' t resist the urge to drive the stang to work. All i can say is I love MSD it had not been started in 4 months and fired right up like I just parked it, then did the creepy crawler to the gas station I left it low on gas mostly because i need to replace the gas tank again ( long story) but knocked the drain plug out on a road trip fixed with wooden dowl. I don't trust it enough to leave it full of gas for very long. But after the gas station just had to nail it and slam the gears a litle man it felt good.

A wooden dowel? Don't you know that wood soaks up the gas then it drips on the garage floor, then Kaboom? Replace the tank knot head.

Yeah we broke 70 degrees here in NJ and I took my car to get it inspected after sitting pretty much all winter, started right up passed inspection. Then I just drove it with no destination in mind, it felt great. Driving my mustang is like a legal drug. Its very addictive and when the weather is crappy and I cant drive it I go through withdrawls.

Yea the scenery doen't change mech here, but when I feel the need I can drive about an hour and a half for a nice cool drive through the mountains, with big trees running water, seasons, andin the the winer even snow andskiing.

When I lived in southern AZ, I could be in a lush pine forest admiring an impressive600 foot waterfall30 min after leaving my front door, but this was no trip for a nice Mustang,by taking the"good road" the trip would take about an hour one way to be in the forest, no waterfall this way though.

My job takes me to NC often, it is a bueatiful state with it's ownscenic mountains. I really like the drive going through High Point, there is no place like it. Awsome bueaty! The drive from Knoxville TN to Asheville NC is impressive as well!

My dad just moved to Levine, Az about a year ago and he's still trying to get used to the heat. Definitely 4 core and a shroud
or electric fan weather there.

Latest time in the season ever. I guess I won't complain about a 2 month long winter. Better than being in Syracuse,NY.
