    I took my 360 out yesterday and I already put 400+miles on it.... Is anybody else going to be out driving over the weekend? I will be at pasteiner's On Saturday morning to meet up with a few other cars. It’s far from being in the 70s, but I’m not having any traction issues with my measly 400 horses [emoji41] Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Usually, the potholes are sketchy around now. I usually just drive on known smooth pathways.

    I went for a nice drive on Sunday. Scouted a route prior to make sure no potholes or snow run off.

    I always pre-scout my path also. I spent most of my time on I/696 and Woodward Avenue. I wanted to get some driving in so I can better compare the Tubi Exhaust to the Capristo Lvl 3 I ordered. It should be here in a couple weeks.

    I've had my C8 out, next Nice Day I might get the 355 out as those tires are a little more Michigan Pot Hole Safe. My 430 has such a low profile on the tires I probably will not run that until mid-april

    Great to meet you @ RM

    Well that must have felt like Christmas in February :cool:

    Maybe it was the mild Winter or less C19 traffic, but pothole season in SE MI seems to also be mild this year for a change!

    I noticed that the potholes are not as bad; probably for 2 reasons:
    1. people are driving much less
    2. the winter was relatively mild with fewer days < 10F and fewer temp swings

    I hit a nasty one a few weeks ago.....Luckily I have two spare rims [emoji106]. She will be going in for sport cats and And to switch out the Tubi Valveless for the Capristo Lvl 3 system. I can’t wait to hear the difference [emoji41].

    I am super OCD. I don't expect to take my car out for more than two times this year. I really don't want to drive it until I can get the fuel lines replaced (the lines are 25 years old) as 355's have a bad habit of going up in smoke.

    Right now I still see salt on some roads. That is a nope for me!

    Ten day forecast appears favorable so might get one out of storage for a good long dust-off drive this Sunday :):)
