I am chomping at the bit to get my box out of the garage.
I have to keep telling myself to wait until the street sweepers come through. LOTS of sand on the sides of the roads.

Going out today
Wife's birthday so we are taking the Boxcar out for a drive as part of the celebration. Roads are clear here in the Hudson Valley and the past rain has cleared most of the sand & salt off the roads. Still a bit chilly as it is only 30.5 degrees F as I type this message. Supposed to rain big time tonight and that will further clear the decks for action. Will let you know how we make out.

Follow up, great trip no pools of water to drive through. Very little if any salt & sand left. Permagrin was sagging a bit over the winter but just re-appeared with a vengeance. Almost forgot what fun it is to drive these cars.

Went for a drive last Sunday. The roads were wet in spots from melting snow at the side of the road. We did not put the top down as it was only 40F.
The side roads have some sand on them but the main highways were clear.
Since Sunday we have had 5" of snow but the roads are clear now.
Nice thing is when it snows we can ski, when it doesn't we can drive. Life is good.

I have been keeping track of the snow here since December 23. So far 151". We live at 8000 ft. and have been able to take a sports car out almost every week. The scenery is not too bad either.

A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Asssspen.
It's the most expensive town in America, according to a recent article in the WSJ & your f-car pic reinforces that.
Nice F355 Spider!

Actually a 360 Spider. But I did have an F355 F1 GTS some years ago.
The WSJ article you referred to said something to the effect: like being in a small Manhattan in the mountains. Everything except the crime. LOL
Life is good.

No. I assume you mean the 360. A real trophy winner. LOL
Too many engine parts not covered on the Boxster so I passed.
