Smile finally

yesterday after work i spent a few hours waking up my 8 from hibernation. oil change, fresh ignition, optima red top, fresh gas, tire pressure, and a quick wash.
i still have a ton of new parts for her i bought over the winter but theres only so many hours in a day. it felt so good to drive my car again its been over 6 months. im so happy winter is over and cant wait to leave work and get back into my wonderful car.

try not to cut your arm when installing those vents... the metal is very sharp in there!

I should consider myself lucky... I try not to go too long without driving mine. Credit goes to the reasonable weather I face around the area I live in.
