Default Best time of year: Taking the Z out

Put the Z away around mid October because we had a weird snow storm (I think the only one of the winter) and with temp's supposed to be around 55/60 all next week, I think it is finally time to bring her back out.

It's quite funny to have all my co-workers and neighbors ask "So... taking the car out soon?". It is like the official sign of Spring for them or something.

5 long, long months. I need to start driving this beast more... 3 year anniversary on March 30th and only has 11k on it.

And to the winter ride: 2001 Jeep Cherokee... don't get me wrong... I love you. You always start when I need you and you have been a trusty steed.. but it's time for you to step aside and enjoy your old age, basking in the sun.

Here is to another great year!

I'm (Vermont) green with envy.

Winter is breaking here too but there is still some snow around and the roads are way too salty and covered with sand and gravel to take out the Z (or the bike) yet.

Maybe next week - warmer temps and road-cleaning rain is in the forecast.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
