I have more than a one-mile commute, so I do get to use my '04 as a DD, but that is getting old - plus living here in southern TX where ALL the roads are under some kind of construction, it's a wonder the windshield is still intact.

Since all we have here are Walmarts, HEB (the only supermarket chain for hundreds of miles) and thousands of dollar stores, there are not many places I can take Scarlet.

HEy - NH is also on our 2-year plan as well (we used to live near Manchester and now want to return to the Monadnock area); we remember quite fondly those lovely foliage tours in our Z3.

Just be patient. Spend the time you have for now finishing your mods, since once you get back east you'll be too busy taking scenic drives to actually work on your car (at least, that's MY plan).
