Thumbs up SC reunion

Got back in the Bird after not driving it for a year.......I leased a 2011 370 Z last march, I hated it when I got it, small seats, no torque, no space and you couldn't see out of it. Needless to say, I grew accustomed to all of that and hated to see it go.
The bird felt like a land yacht when I got back in it! The brakes sucked the shifter wobbled, no bluetooth, LOL......It took a couple of days but we're back in the groove. I painted it, put some saleen's on it, and repaired a pesky head gasket leak while it was mothballed. It looks badass and I get more compliments on it than I did the Z. I took it through emissions for tags yesterday and it blew clean as a whistle for the 22nd straight year! I'll probably drive it another 30-40K miles and sell it to some lucky kid
Thanks for the advice and tech help over the last few years.

We need to have a get together sometime. Be nice to meet up with fellow owners more than once a year at the shootout.

Come to the races in IA that occur twice a year. Currently going to Tristate on April 28-29. Several of us will be there.

Always fun getting them back on the road and remembering all the fun you have had and thinking of the fun you are going to have.
