Hibernation is Over!!

I took the Boxster out of hibernation today. Really early, I don't think I pulled the trigger until early April last year. Just got sick of waiting with this lousy winter and the streets were dry today so I went for it. Ohh, how I missed that sound. Great drive, had to do some evasive maneuvers to avoid potholes, but all went well.

We will have several more snow storms so I'll just have to be selective on the days I take her out.

Mine is still covered up in the garage. Took it out once in January and twice in Feb. Spring is right around the corner but it's still going to seem like forever before it gets here. It always does. Anyway, glad you got yours out for a good drive. Watch out for those potholes!!

I try to take it out as much as I can. If the streets are clear then I am good to go. I don't have snow tires so I have to make sure the weather is going to be okay.
