Fun car Friday

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

I usually take the truck at least once a week, sometimes 2 or 3. Took it yesterday actually.

I took mine golfing. 

In reply to Racebrick :

What IS that?

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

I like this idea.

I used to daily drive my fun car,  but at 15 mpg on Premium gas, I've been forced to daily drive the Prius.  So for the last few months,  Fridays are when the big Cat stretches its legs.  Today's picture:

2003 325xi weighs 2300. Its like driving an AWD nb Miata kind of.

In reply to Racebrick :

Thank you for the reply.   I think I need one of those.

No cool pic. today, but I took the LT1 Roadmaster sedan out for some "exercise. " 

Love this plan. If it sells, I will not have a fun car for a while, so the motorcycle will have to count!

In reply to frenchyd :

Some really cool stuff there!

Is that a driven in restaurant, or one of the few theaters left? We have a Sunlite Drive In Theater a mile from the house, but very little car scene in either Dothan, Ozark or Enterprise (the three "big" towns around me.) 

Drove the 911 on errands and to lunch with a friend today

Thank you for this post.  After a garbage day at work, this motivated me to take the car out to stretch its legs.  Suddenly the world isn't quite as bad.

I'm so glad to hear this. Its exactly the reason this started. 

Thanks for the inspiration Michael. The wife and I took my car out this evening, stopped at our favorite ice cream place, saw a neon green McLaren (sorry, no picture), and I got a picture of the car in front of a local shop. A nice relaxing evening to end the work week.

Indeed, thanks a lot!

I only coincidentally drove the old hotness today, as something got into new and busted and ate a bunch of wiring and I really do not feel like ripping the interior out to find and repair it, when it is summertime and the fun car is right there, and Past Me saw fit to park it with a full tank of fuel...

Fun car weekend!!  The Mrs and I are HPDE at Road Atlanta all weekend.  Her first (ish).

Car on left is my daily driver, one on the right is usually used on weekends, but no fixed rules - just whatever strikes me on a given day.

Fair. But what about the gmt400? Even if you have a fun daily, friday should be the day for the other car 

In reply to solfly :

we're both driving the extended cabs today!

I washed our newest member of the fun car fleet and took it out briefly as I have today off.  Vacation days really are the best!

Shotgun in the EXT now.

I'm not allowed to leave the house today....maybe next Fri.

I tried this Wednesday and the throttle body decided it was not in the mood...so tow truck and fix it this weekend!

Work from home today, but lunchtime errands allowed for a quick jaunt in the fun car.  More following the work day for sure.
