Default I love spring

Why do I love spring? Because after several months of driving my S2000 in the winter, I get to be reminded of why it is that I purchased this car. It has been months since I redlined 2 or 3 gears in a row. It has been months since I shifted from 1st to 2nd and the back end went sideways (on warmed up summer tires, let me add). It has been months since I've had the windows down, and really been able to hear the engine scream.



I think I'm going to go out for another drive!

i think the people down south should be saying "i love summer". koala and i are finally getting to experience what you guys had at least a month ago. on ave. the southerners have a 5 degree advantage. but wait we will hear this same sentiment in three weeks from the people in the north.
i too enjoy the coming of spring and feel alive. am i an old bear?

Had the bike out on the weekend. Boy those roads are cold... 10000rpm at full throttle, the slightest bump will make the rear wheel spin. All in fun though.

Dylan, you forgot to mention the changes we're seeing in wardroben choices. Scenery gets so much better in the spring...

Sorry to rain on your parade (pun intended), but has anyone checked the forecast as of late?

I can deal with the weather this weekend. I work all day saturday, party saturday night, then I'm helping a buddy of mine build a "super custom cardboard body kit" for his '99 Ford Exploder, on Sunday.

Pics to follow
