That's a great feeling the first drive after the cars been in storage. I've been wanting to take my S out but our roads are still covered in salt.

I didn't see a single police officer today and I always see at least one.

Police are only responding to violent crimes in most departments - of course, in MI, there is still plenty to go around.

90% of the houses around me are vacant now it's like a big buffet I should just walk around and help myself.

X2, it's going to be awhile longer....I wonder how much of our highway dept. got laid off per Gov. Cuomo and his workforce reduction of 50%. Probably will need a few heavy rainstorms to clear the roads here.

Most of the houses in my neighborhood are vacation homes. With the mountain closed now people stop coming up just a few year round people like me.

My first sports car was a British car as well. A TR7. When I was looking for a car two came up that were in a dealers yard somewhere. I went to see them. They were awesome, still had plastic on the seats. Then I started thinking about how I used to rebuild brake and clutch cylinders. How many Lucas parts I needed to hunt down and replace. Short circuits etc. It was the choice between the TR and the S. The S won! No regrets..
I've owned 2 Ss and the maintenance still never came to half as much money or time as I spent on a TR7.
