New pic or a repeat? You have been known to do that.

Regardless, your Sublime Roush, I mean, GHIG, always looks great.

I like the angles on these photos Tony Your car is looking pretty worn out now, how many miles? you know that 'drive it into the ground' is just a figure of speech right?

honestly it looks like showroom condition. I know the giddy feeling of getting out for a rip after being away from it.

LMFAO
Thanks Darren. Yeah, it felt awesome. Almost 3 months since I last drove it. I think we're going to have an early Spring, so that's good.
Enjoy your Mustang Darren. That is one of my favorites on this site bro.

I just emailed my Ford dealer about a GT350R. Just asking,...just asking. lol I told him I have a new truck, so I can't do anything yet. Just wanted some inside info.
Enjoy your Mustang Darren. That is one of my favorites on this site bro.

I finally did the unthinkable today! Better late than never. But someone came out of hiding yesterday. It was 60 degrees and sunny (mostly). Roads were semi-drivable. So I started her up and drove her up and down the street only. She fired up right away after a ~5 month hiatus. Hearing her crank, her idle, her revs, was surreal. I didn't realize how much I missed her. What's sad though is, amazing after 5 months of not driving her, you forget how stiff the clutch is, how short the MGW shifts are, and you have to get used to the timing again. A big contributor to that is the fact that I have been driving my POS 1993 Prizm with a clutch as soft as a marshmallow and a shifter that's as wobbly and long as on old man's walking crane.

Regardless, my point is, I missed Marilyn... a lot. And it was fantastic driving her yesterday (albeit dirty) for 5-10 minutes. Here's the awful phone pics to prove it.

Compared to the way I've seen some people neglect their cars, even at shows, your "dirty" Mustang would still shine like a diamond.

I'm getting prepared for a 3 day nook and cranny session starting today with a wash, clay, and swirl removal. Tomorrow/Wed will see polish, wax and the rest. Should hit 50+ by noon today and maybe in the 70's the next few.

I've already scheduled my chiropractor for Friday.

Boy...if you guys only saw how dirty mine is after sitting outside at the dealer, only to be returned to me with "no problem found/could not duplicate the issue" regarding engine tick, clunky shifting, and passenger door panel rattle. I put the MGW on this weekend, I'll post a review about it later. I'm detailing the car tonight at my friend's shop.

I was thinking the same thing today. It's like one of those nature programs that shows time lapsed photography of grass sprouting up, flowers blooming and cute little critters poking their heads out of burrows.

Thanks a lot guys... appreciate it. Yes, yes... spring is definitely a good thing. I need to activate insurance then give her a good wash and detail. Going red pad with my Flex, then Menzerna Super Finish.

You have a ~ $60,000 Mustang, a ~$70,000 Infiniti SUV and a Prius, and you also drive around in a 23 year old badge-engineered Corolla?

I have an '05 Ranger that I use when I need to go somewhere (I work from home, so it's not often), but may be looking to swap it for another car (the truck sucks in the snow and we really don't need a truck)...

Yep, mine did too (doesn't help that there has been a ton of construction in my neighborhood)... And we still have our outdoor water turned off for at least another month (just in case), so no bath for my car until then!
