Was a beautiful day here in Michigan yesterday and I couldn't wait any longer and took the SD out of storage. She fired right up and after running a little rough for about a minute she smoothed right out. Took her home changed the oil and greased the throttle linkages and took her to the hand car wash and gave her a good cleaning inside and out including the engine compartment. Then I took her for nice ride around town and then to the e-way to the steepest grade I could find for a Italian tuneup. Its great to have her on the road again. I don't even care if diesel is 4 bucks a gallon its still a great ride......Jimmy

Mine gets out every time it's dry, lots of good dry days over here in Holland in the winter.

Kind of funny, with no bugs, no dust, and no rain/snow, you can sometimes drive a clean car for a couple of weeks without needing to wash it. Gets dustier in the garage.

It is a romance novel........ I imagine you got more snow over in Grand Rapids then we did in Howell. Michigan winters are nice too if your lucky you can keep your vehicle clean for 2 minutes
