Been driving the snot out of mine. Weather here has been better than excellent for top down cruising. Shows, errands, cruise nites, club meetings, just about every chance I get. I don't even mind cleaning the pollen as long as the car gets road time...just cracked 12K on the clock.

Hey Stage 3, if you live in Massachusetts, you are not far from Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park . . . . where they have an awesome new road course. This is the place to let that pony really run . . . and SCCA Track Night in America is an easy and fairly low cost way to do it. Check out tracknightinamerica.com for more details; PM me for $25 discount code if interested.

Hope to see you there on June 30!

That's awesome Tom. I actually drove mine two days in a row! Racked up over 40 miles! For me, that's huge. Mine needs a detail bad. Tons of pollen as well.
Enjoy it brother!

Thanks! Too funny. We were just talking about that track at work. My boss, myself and another guy. I see there is another one in Ware, which is a lot closer. Connecticut is about 2 hours away.
Honestly, I don't track my cars anyways. Thanks for the offer though, I do appreciate it.

Which one did you get Darren?

I recently bought this one....only 6 X 6. I was looking for something compact and this does the trick. When it's folded it's smaller than a typical folding chair and fits easily in the trunk. It's real comfy for 3 plus chairs, coolers and a small table. In a pinch I can crowd 5 under it though. It's great for shows. Get some weights for the legs though. I also bought nylon sandbags with velcro straps.

The cover is off and I'm driving her all weekend. This morning I'm going to wash her and then head out for the day.

In about a week and a half I'll be on lots-o-vacation and reduced work hours so mods/detailing/driving will be happening a lot. It's Mustang season!!!

Any of you Mass guys hit Epping at all even if it's just to watch street night?

You're welcome sir.
Yes, I told myself I am going to be driving it more this year. I mean, I don't even have 3,000 miles on it yet. I'v owned the car for more than 3 years now. lol

I just purtied 'er up for a show today @ 2pm. As tough as it is make black as perfect as possible, the job goes much quicker and is less labor intensive as long as it's maintained regularly (in my case anally).

I'll post pics of the show later.

Washed her, but got lazy and made it a quickie. I really need some Oompa Loopas to take over my car detailing.

When I pack for a show, my trunk is like a Rubik's Cube. Everything has to fit in a particular pattern.

(2) folding chairs
canopy
canopy cover
4 sandbag weights
detail kit
portable vac
folding table
extra 'show' floor mats
white towels to keep the seats cool
camera gear
cooler

God forbid I get a flat.
