    Well as some of you may remember, I took delivery last November with the first snowfall. Backed it out of the transport and pulled it into the garage.
    Finally got some time and sun and snapped a few pics. Still a work in progress but already put on 500 miles on in just 3 or 4 drives. Can't seem to go for just a 10 minute ride. Always turns into a 1-2 hour mind clearing, ear to ear grin drive in the boonies!

    Looks good Steve!

    Can't wait to get mine home from California so I can drive a bit in the country as well. Stop and go on the freeway sucks.

    Looks great! Congrats on finally having the weather to drive.

    I went for one of the 2 hour mind clearing drives tonight, just got home. I think that is my new favorite thing to do. :D

    Thanks for the compliments guys. Still things to do yet. Have to finish the wiring for the stereo and get the trunk liner re-installed.
    Some leather shrinkage on the dash - not looking forward to that project! Now that there is actually some sun coming out in Minnesota I can buff out the finish and actually see the results. Out of town again for a few weeks for a vacation then I take it in for fluid change and a quick inspection.

    I encourage everyone who has pout their info into the 355 registry to use the new photo posting option. Great way to see everyones pride and joy in one place.

    I've been playing it safe. I tend to drive like an old fart anyway! Have been considering getting the Valentine unit just to keep me sharp though.

    What color is it??


    Took my Spider for an hourlong cruise yesterday, just couldn't stop. I was just going to get some laundry detergent, and then I thought I should try one of the back roads, it was sunny and 75. Next thing you know, I'm in Connecticut!

    You know, having a really good stereo in these cars is actually worth it... the engine sound is awesome, but there are times that just demand some tunes.

    The color is LeMans Blu Metalllic. Picture does not do the color justice. Put on another 80 miles early this evening after work. Low 70s, took the top off and cranked some Sammy Hagar.
    Tubi and Sammy are a great combination!
