It's an absolutely gorgeous day here in the south of 'Jersey so I decided to dust off the Belair and cruise it to work. Some of my co-workers had the same idea.

Anyone else?

I drove the POS 1982 Ford F150 that I bought this weekend for $1,200

Does that count?

I drove my 1999 Miata to work today. Does that count?

Oh, I also drove it to work all winter since it is my only car.

I autocrossed the '72 Beetle yesterday, and drove it to work every day last week. I gave it the day off today, but will probably take it tomorrow.

I don't know if '72 is old enough to be "classic"...

It's nice out here, too. If it counts, yesterday I drove past the office in the 911.

It is raining in Detroit, so tomorrow I'd advise against taking your belair to work lol

Yes, they all count. I should've titled the thread "fun car" or "cool car". Either way, it makes me happy to know my fellow GRMers are out there enjoying their stuff on a weekday.

I drive the DeLorean to work about once every few weeks- more when it warms up and is nicer out. Supposed to be in the 70s midweek this week and I'll likely need it out of the driveway for sealcoating anyway, so it'll likely get a bit more exercise than usual.

Roads still to horrible to bring out the GT6.

The Mini is still on the lift with no rear brakes...

I still need to finish replacing the alternator in the GT6. Regardless, it's blocked in the garage by the Mini above...

The E30 has a sick-sounding engine...

Neither of th g/f's classics are running either...

Few times does my signature apply moreso than right now...

The TDi will pass 311,000 miles this week. Does that count?

I was planning to, but it threatened rain and the sunroof leaks too bad for me to want to drive it... I drove the crap out of it yesterday, though.

The lady and I drove the '94 Protegé (the Lotegé) to work today. It's fun, but we would have driven it even if it were snowing or something. I'm thinking it's time to get the hardtop off the Miata and get it out this week.

That's because you are young and foolish...Either that or you live in Florida.
