I couldn't wait any more.

I had to do. Weather looks good, although its quite cold outside.

I replaced the brakes yesterday and get new tires sat. I probably shouldn't of even been on the old tires today. Worn real bad, after all that track time last year. And boy were they slippery on the cold pavement.

So tomorrow I have to give it a bath. Wash off any salt or northern grime. But I need to condition the seats anyways.

But all in all, it was great being behind the wheel and vtec again. The F-150 doesn't compare.
So I am back in the saddle. Just once in awhile.

Keith,

I feel your pain. Everyday before going to work, I have to walk by the S2K, sitting all shiny and enticing in the garage, to get into the family beater (can't even take the Prelude because it went back in the body shop). The past four days have been pretty clear in northern IL also, so to ignore all logic to not take drop top out in cold weather, I've been driving it all week.

You know, I've noticed soemthing too. . .I've been the busiest I've been since the last code release in the beginning of January, yet I've been more relaxed than I've ever been. I haven't even been getting enough sleep for the past two days. Hmmmmm, Honda may be on to something and may want to research a new marketing angle: [Red][B]S2000[/Red]...[deep voiceover][Red]It's therepeautic[/Red][/voiceover].

Way to go Keith!

I have really been wanting to get mine out after this long winter, but I haven't yet. I am getting my ducks in a row for some of the work I want to do to the car before "the season" begins.

Yeh I forgot about all the looks I got with this car. To bad its just for the car.
Tons again, all over. Plus everyone knows I have the winter blues, having it out on a cold day like today.

I pulled out from a store, little bit of water on the road, and gave her. Boy does it slip and slide with no tread left on the tires. But it was fun. I figured I mine as well burn some more off the tires, since I get the new ones sat.

Meat: Plus I didn't know if you guys had your stooks out in Chicago or not. I couldn't handle seeing you all drive them sat and me with nothing. But I am leaving mine at home this weekend.

See ya in a couple days.
