I certainly agree with the spring fever! But I thought the roads were
still too wet...I don't like getting that old road salt on the car. I
suppose the fact that half my rims are at the paint shop rather than
mounted on the car affected my decision not to drive it too! I planned
on having winter projects like that done before spring arrived...I did
take advantage of the warmth to do some work on the car though.
