On the road again... April 01, 2010, 09:13:37 AM Well, it's April 1st, and the weather has been fantastic this past winter and spring, so the T-Bird is out of its winter hibernation a month early! I insured it Monday, switched plates (from the Jeep) on Tuesday, changed the oil and put some fresh gas on yesterday, and took 'er for her awakening trip this morning. Let me tell ya, after driving that shiznitbox Saturn all winter, I've got one thing to say:God, how I missed that torque. Even with the lowly 5.0 SO (albeit helped by the T5 and 3.55 gears) that car pulls like a freight train when compared to the Saturn...The car worked flawlessly on its 150km maiden voyage as well. I've just got to upgrade the stereo (the one in it has a very annoying engine RPM related whine), replace the front tires, and get an alignment done, and it'll be good to go for the summer.
