These cars are fun to drive but $3.25 for a friggin gallon of gas hurts real bad. I feel a little guilty taking it out to drive with no purpose in mind. Of course we don't get the snow that some of you do. Also it's too cold to wash after getting the chemical and salt on it from the roads. Here they spray the road with salt/chemical if there is even a hint of snow. Wimps. Anyway good to hear you were able to do some driving.

PCA Potomac had a nice rally/breakfast yesterday, 40 or so cars through NW Virginia.

Hey tboyer (if you recall): what roads are you guys on in the 4th and 5th pics? (I went to school in VA ages ago---the area looks familiar.)

We started at the Manassas Battlefield, up 234 (Sudley Rd) , Up Rt 15 James Madison Hwy, Lime Kiln Rd, Snickersville Turnpike (were the driving pics were taken) to Rt 7, down Airmont Rd back to Rt 66. A spirited drive with good scenery.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I wish my area had so many PCA members to get together with and hang out.

Been in the Manassas Battlefield area, but don't remember the road names/route numbers anymore.

So that's the "Snickersville Turnpike"? That's pretty funny calling a road like that a turnpike. Where's the extra lanes? The toll booths? The tourist trap rest stops? Aaah, I miss Virginia.

One of the benefits of living in the South - there is no hibernation period :dance:
