Gone cruising...

We had some freakishly warm weather today (55-60) so I decided to take ol' blue out for a spin. 1/2 mile of mud to get to the highway, but then it was smooth sailing...
The old flatty purred like a kitten, we went about 40 miles.....I really wanted to just keep on driving.
Anyway, I got my "fix" for a little while....and a huge grin on my face....
Can't wait for spring!

You guys deserve some driving weather, weve had such a mild winter here in northern. Calif. that the lawn is dieing from lack of water. Ive felt to guilty to mention every time Ive had the truck out. Im sorry, and hope spring comes soon for the rest of you guys, and Gals.

Congrats on the ride. We're supposed to get some 60s here later this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

Man, I'm jealous!!

I've had the itch pretty bad, I guess its time to start the garage excavation project so I can dig my truck out and fire it up.

Congrats on a fun ride
Bobby

Nice and sunny here in AZ! Just wish the pollen didn't kick my a$$ like it is today. Allergies suck!
