Default Missing my Roadster

We are struggling to get spring started here in Nebraska. My car is languishing in the garage just waiting for a couple nice days to get out and drive me around. Maybe after Easter.

I've had my Limited out already after not driving it since November. You forget how nice it is! The SRT is still undercover. I'm not taking it out until I can put the top down!

North East is doing well weather wise for a spin about but my black roadster needs a bath and it's still too cold to wash. Embarrassing to be so dirty....

You can get away with that for a little while if you crank up the heater at the same time.

It's not the dirt that worries me. It's the salt.

They may not use salt in New York but regardless, it's a really lousy car in the snow.

I live in a wooded area in rural Alexandria, mn and my SRT roadster is stranded in my shop, which remains surrounded by snow. Were expecting nice Easter weather, so I am hopeful of getting it out on the road next week. Happy holiday to all!

Wow! Picked up my 05 Roadster Thursday and I've had the top down whenever the sun peeped out and dont care!!! Yipee..
Its been such a hoot the last couple of days, "posing" (or showing off) and, dare I say it, speeding a little bit.....
When do these regular car drivers get off your tail thinking their Honda or MR5 is any match or can out beat you????

It'll be a bit warmer there by then. You keep sending all your cold air down to Colorado so you cannot have much left.
