What do you miss most about your summer car?

[Eagle]

Suddenly in the last few days, I'm having serious withdrawal from my TA. Maybe it was all the warmer weather we had recently, or maybe its just "that time of the year." I am SO looking forward to having it running again this year.

All I can think about is the sound of the turbo and the blow off valve, and wondering what the new cam will sound like! Is it just me? Or are y'all seriously missing your summer rides too?

I miss cruising around in the CJ with no top or doors, while most people think in crazy for driving such a beater. Plus, I'll be able to parallel park again!

i miss washing it on saturday and then getting up early on Sunday and cruising the backroads in farm country.
i see the car everyday, just sitting in the garage.

sometimes i wonder if i should just sell it. i could pay off my truck with the $.

then i would be double depressed.

Shifting gears, having power, and the exhaust note. My daily driver is a Civic.

The caprice, I've been driving here and there when there isn't any salt on the ground but when I'm not driving it, the exhaust note and power it has over the dd.

The bike, the rush I get from the pure acceleration and then just cruising on it.
Edit: also the freedom feeling it gives me when I am on it.

I miss the fact that it ran. Unheated garage+this weather=not much in the wrenching dept.

EAGLE misses doing pulls out of his subdivision.

vrommmm pshhhhh vrommmmmmm pshhhhh vrrrooommmmm

 

[PANDA]

I miss all the old guys that wave at me.

 

[SinisterSHO]

Mostly the shifting gears. But, the lack of interior, and just generally being loud is fun sometimes too.

I took the car out a few times this "winter". I miss just listening to it going down the road. Also I really miss the more then needed power at any time I want it.

Oh and for the bike, I miss that even more. Love the open feeling of the wind at your face.

I started my car up and drove it down the block last weekend. It felt really fast, but that's probably because I've been driving a turd. I need a manual transmission DD. I miss it.

 

[Mook]

dan, you miss the trans am b/c you've been driving the mustang

and having just driven the cobra the other day...i miss:

the seats
the rumble from the exhaust
blower whine
shifting

Camming at a stoplight with the t tops off. Pretty sure 90% of my idle vid's views on youtube are from me over the winter.
