Haven't driven the Bullitt since before Thanksgiving! Started it up a few times - no battery problems.

Neither am I... But the Nitto 555's sitting on the car have something different to say when it comes to 17" of snow and 33 degree temps...

I can't remember exactly, but I'd say at least a month... Maybe 6 weeks... Unless you count moving it from my garage to the driveway and back to wash it... I did that a couple weekends ago...

Forget about just driving, who here is upset that they had to have the A/C on in the car today? Oh, just me then...

a month or so ago it rained/washed salt away, got to drive it for ONE whole dry day before we got dumped on again...I am sooooo ready for warm weather

walking past the car to the windstar every morning sucks...thankful to have a winter car for sure, but sure enjoy the drive to/from work a lot more in the summer...

Unhappy "When Will It End"

It's our good weather Joy-Toy. So the GT/CS has been on the shelf all winter long! Been having a total blast out in the big Ol' 4X4 chewing up the snow and getting everywhere on time. This is really pretty fun stuff for the Midwestern Ford truck nuts!! But "When will it end"? Right fellas? CalStang

It's been almost a month.. **** snow!

Saturday I cleaned off the drive really well, started her, let her run for 5 or so minutes. After I got some heat into her I drove her up and down the drive acouple times, then put her back in the garage.. Hopefully next week it'll all clear up and I can take her for a real spin.

Over the past two weeks i've been driving my father's F350 more than i've been driving my CS. I'll admit even though I only got to drive it a little yesterday, I couldn't help the spirited driving I just seemed to need. After driving a few other cars, the Mustang just seemed to bring the bigger smile to my face. It makes me think of what it'll be like when i'm finally able to mod my car a bit more.

Its been almost 1 1/2 years for me. Blew the engine then had issues with the new engine being built. Now I'm waiting for good weather so I can take it to Livernois Motorsports for dyno & tune.
