Summer rides...when is yours out?

[Masked Bandit]

If I have time I'll be bringing mine out tonight, tomorrow at the latest. Who else has their toys ready to go?

[shakalaka]

Been out every now and then through out the winter...contemplating the tire switch now but not sure yet.

[revelations]

Id have my convertible out now, but its a project car and wont see any road until June at this rate .... :nut:

[NoPulp]

I've taken the orange one out a couple times already. The black one is still a work in progress, hopefully get it out soon and split daily duties between it and the truck.

[EK 2.0]

Hmmm, just looked at tomorrows forecast...

I wasn't going to pull the Civic out until May...but I might just drive it tomorrow...

[ercchry]

M3 is still on winters till one last trip to Louise... but the Datsun made an appearance last week! Also went for a little ride on the ktm last week

[G-ZUS]

Brought the E36 out on Sunday :banghead:

[03ozwhip]

summer wheels will be going on as soon as I get my tires off of the other wheels. it'll still be a 4x4 tho :cry:

[eglove]

Mines been out all winter. Swapped to the A/S 3's and summer wheels 2 weeks ago

[Sugarphreak]

[EK 2.0]

I guess I should add that the Summer wheels have been on the daily for about 2 weeks as well...

[ExtraSlow]

Savage Supercar is running summer rubber on those "turbine" aero wheels already.

[gogreen]

Just once so far, last day of March.

[Sentry]

M5 in hibernation for a few more weeks. Gotta put the blower on too. :poosie:

Wagon is on summers. #yolo #noragrets

[BavarianBeast]

Took the M3 out last week. Didn't get hit with a single rock :clap:

[ercchry]

Hrm... just took the Thule off (its like a 10min job, so might toss it back on if needed) and went for a little drive to try out the new tune... 8700 redline... maybe I should put the summers on, don't think these tires are going to last long :burnout:

[Tik-Tok]

Whoah, a dozen posts in, and not a single "What do you mean summer car? They are meant to be driven year round!" post.

While my Saabaru was involuntarily stored for the winter due a ridiculous amount of deep ice ruts in my alley, I finally brought it out last week.

[carson blocks]

I got the Z06 together and out for 1 drive so far. Off to the classic auction in Red Deer next weekend to free up some garage space for something different.

[D'z Nutz]

My summer ride is my motorcycle and I won't be bringing that out until after some street sweeping is done.

Ah, it's not that bad... most gravel is pushed to the curb already, just need to be careful at the intersections... but they were cleaning McLeod around Chinook last night so it is starting :clap:

[HomespunLobster]

Tomorrow is when my summer ride comes out. Because that's when I pick it up from Blackfoot.

[Darkane]

Had the car out last week and yesterday officially for the year.

[topsecret]

The Supra is undergoing a bunch of work in the next couple of weeks, I hope to have it out on the roads for may 1st!

[KPHMPH]

Mines been out for about a week now - tops been down 3/7 days.

Yeah, it was nice to see some pre-cleaning done. My neighborhood isn't officially scheduled until April 10th, but last week they did a quick sweep-through to get most of the stuff that was in the middle of the road.

Here's the schedule for anyone looking.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Been out a little over two weeks. Getting ready for the first auto x practice on April 16th.

Ordered new seat and harness yesterday, and picked up a new helmet too.

[Shlade]

Soon as my knee allows (hoping mid next month) be bike will be coming out.

[Maxx Mazda]

Mine isn't quite finished yet (haven't driven it since 2012) but hopefully by June I'll have it on the road!

[nismodrifter]

As Fate would have it?

[R154]

It's on order :( some time in July/August.

Until then I might put my r33 back on insurance. Needs some love and a clutch.

[klumsy_tumbler]

The cayman came out for the first time last week. First day out - rock chip on Deerfoot. Fack :banghead:

[flipstah]

The Mini has been out and about for the past month, but will be in FT duty very soon!

[Team_Mclaren]

Insurance back on last week. Will wait to put the new rims on.

[03ozwhip]

To me, a project car implies YOUR labour, not someone elses :nut:

LOL? are you saying that you do ALL the work on your "project car"? I'm sure that disqualifies 99% of all "project cars" out there.

Yep .... 100% so far.... but I understand that on occasion you need to contract out specialized things like heads or block. Otherwise, I do all my own electrical, mechanical, etc.

[MR2-3SGTE]

Eh, I define a project car as something that you yourself plan out. If you plan for it to be built a certain way, then have the parts/wiring harnesses/welding etc. done through a 3rd party, that's still a project car to me

[tehwegz]

Started winter driving it this past winter as I have to *try* and stick to one car now. I threw summer tires back on it shortly after the first day of spring though. :)

Trust me, you will get to a point where, you want the toy but don't want the headaches. And yeah ok pulling wrenches is fun, but man oh man, just drop it off somewhere and pick it up in a few weeks sounds better as you get older haha...

[revelations]

The problem is that I've found that if you want something done right, you usually do it yourself .... or maybe I am just a damn perfectionist. Also, with older cars I find that some of the previous owners attempt repairs and end up with a fucking mess that I have to organize and clean (esp. electrical).

Fuck, I've pretty much rewired this 2G Eclipse now.
