My 8 is garaged up in Wayne County, PA. I sublet a room in Hillsborough, NJ, as it is closer to my work (Piscataway). I've been driving a 96' Pontiac Grand Prix w/ 221,000 miles on her since October; handling is just a bit off from the 8.

Seriously though, the withdrawals are getting worse everyday. Are there any 8 support groups nearby for this?

I decided to take my 8 out of storage this past Saturday; what a bad idea. I had it stored at my parents house in Scranton, so, I drove up with the winter beater on Friday night, slept over, got up at 7 AM on Saturday to get my new Kumho SPT's installed; while waiting for the tires to be installed a nasty snow squall rolled into the area. After the tires were installed the squall seemed to be slowing down so I said to myself, "What the heck, let me give it a try, I've never driven the 8 in the snow and now I can see what all those summer tires in the snow stories are about first hand". Three minutes later the 8 was parked on the side of the road and my 4 wheel drive ride was on the way.

Persistence pays off; five hours later I returned to the 8 and drove it back to NJ. Here's hoping to a mild rest of winter
