    .......figured I'd fire the Riv up last night and back it out of the garage. Got to looking at the roads, and said screw it! Took it for it's first drive of the year last night, supposed to be mid 50s all week so I woke up and drove it to work this morning. Still 20 feet of snow in the mountains less than an hour away, but here in town it's beautiful. Aaaaaahhhhhh.....therapy.

    I know the feeling :)

    I took the Electra out for a quick spin last night as the roads were dry and most of the nasty crap had washed/blown away.

    First road run since swapping out the resonators for Thrush Glasspacks and it sounded great at idle and there was less drone when cruising.

    First day of spring - roll on summer!

    Rain predicted here today. Temps staying in the high 40s/low 50s. At least not snowing. I hope, if it rains, it rains hard to get salt off roads.

    Thanks for posting the video, buddy. That's the first fire up and idle this year....my computer and phone won't let me post videos for some reason.

    Next time, Jim. I PROMISE! Kick myself for not just doing the drive over to meet up with you guys, but work that next day would've been rougher than rough....

    Or, I could've tried this excuse: "Yeah, ya see, boss, I can't make it in today, because there's these guys off this forum I'm on and always bulls******g with all day while I'm at work about Buicks here in the state visiting. So I had to go see them, you see......I knew you'd understand."...........
