It is the season where miles will suddenly start appearing on my car and half a tank of gas will disappear. I am itching to get out in the worst way. It probably isn't healthy.

I can't wait to get the winter rubber off the bloody car either. Wheel noise is really starting to annoy the hell out of me.

I couldn't agree more! The deafening roar my winter tires make on the highway is really getting to me.

I feel the Spring fever thing big time. I had to drive to Buena Vista for work yesterday, which means I drove my passport. Dry, clear roads for a hundred miles through the mountains on HWY 24. I just kept saying to myself "Self, we should be in the RX-7 right now!". :338567b8: Maybe we should get a group drive over that highway planned........

My iPikes were howling pretty good at 80mph on C-470 this morning. Couple more weeks...... Unless the weather is in the tank, April 4th is my day the good wheels and tires go back on.
