    First CRUIZE 2010

    I've driven my car once this year, about 10 -15 miles. We had a nice sunny, calm-to-no wind day Jan.19th.; my intentions were to just start the car and let run for awhile. The temp was abt 40F and sunny -- the temptation was overwhelming. I found myself CRUZIN as soon as the high idle released - probably wud have went father if I had a heater. When I finished my brief first CRUIZE of 2010 I had good feeling....:drive:

    Driven almost every day this year, rain or shine, same as the last two. I know nothing of this "road salt" you folks talk about! I figure I average about 600-700 miles per month and by the end of the year I will have driven about 22,000 total miles since I got the car. The engine will have just under 30k by then, and I will most certainly have used up these tires which I bought new. Now that doesn't mean I don't take care of it - I do. Religiously. But it's a car. I enjoy looking at it, but mostly I love driving it. And my garage space is limited so any vehicle that expects to spend its nights there has to work to earn its keep.

    Are we all not the same, as you said, "the temptation was overwhelming". I have done that too on many occasions and my little cruise around the block ends up as a nice long cruise. It's a nice little piece of Spring in the middle of Winter. :D(y)
