Withdrawls surpressed

FUZZY · 01-03-2006, 04:47 PM

for now anyway.

Finished painting a vehicle today around 2:00 and while walking up to the house saw the SSR just sitting in the other garage, almost calling me to come start it up.

Well I walked past it and up to the house, looked around and said to myself, where are the keys for the SSR? After a short search I FOUND THEM and suddenly was walkikng back out to the gargae to move the ladder so I could slide in to the drivers seat. OOHHH THIS FEELS GOOD. Key slips into the ignition bells sound, I step on the brake, turn the key, and varrroooom she springs to life. Played with the radio buttons for a bit and let it idle for a while. All gages showing proper levels, and boy oh boy listen to that exhaust, rumble rumble rumble. Stepped back out and let her run for a while to warm up, while I jumped in the other truck (1990 GMC which sits beside it in the gargage) and fired it up also, rrrr rrrr rrrrr varrrooom, it too springs to life after a 4 month stay in hibernation. I allowed them both to run for about 15 minutes then then slipped back in to turn off all systems, and put them back to bed.

Can't wait for the snow and salt to go away now so I can take her out and cruise again.

And I thought I had bad withdrawal symptoms here in Chicago. I've only got 408 miles on my 06 Black Tie since my November purchase. I've had to get it washed twice. If the garage was heated I would be doing the Zaino thing. Dam I LOVE my SSR. I guess thats why I gave up an eight month old 350Z for it. I watch the weather every night to see if I'll be able to sneek out the Black Tie the next day. If I didn't need my QX 56 for going out west skiing I'd sell it and get a second SSR (an 06 Pacific Blue). Fuzzy you are not alone.

I feel so bad for you all that can't, because we're OK out here, everyday.
Top down this morning to work, Top down on the way home this evening.
Oh it is true, living out here, is like a vacation everyday.

Bill Scott · 01-03-2006, 06:14 PM

FUZZY,
I know exactlly where you are at, as exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday. I walked by it several times before we made eye contact, then it was all over--- in the house I went also for the keys. ! ! ! !

Buffy · 01-03-2006, 06:17 PM

Every day I go out into the garage and rub my hands all over her sexy sleek body... peeking under her cover every now and then and grab her chrome exhaust tips and stroke them softly!

KySSR · 01-03-2006, 06:49 PM

Marc, I think you may have "it" worse...

Watch out for those tips when she gets all warmed up

Mike in AZ · 01-03-2006, 07:00 PM

Therapy might be good.

Whatever you do, you have to stay away from the temptation.........

Be strong brothers.

You're such a bad girl. Taunting is not a good thing for the caged ones in the cold country. You gotta keep it quieter.....my WX is great too.

Marc you do have it BAD.........I was going to say something about my withdrawls but right now I'm speechless

Will you please right a Sexy SSR Romantic Novel.....I'll read it!!!

STEP · 01-03-2006, 11:49 PM

Yes, it rained on our parade yesterday.....It rained so hard I found out my SSR leaks (driver side seat belt was wet)

But, of course today, it’s beautiful again out here in CA .......but I did start cleaning out the garage for one of my New Year’s resolutions. It’s time for all the cars to be in the garage again!

Ricochet · 01-04-2006, 01:33 AM

You sure the indexing glass went all the way up? I did read of a TSB somewhere that sometimes the glass on one side or the other sometimes stays down a bit.

Joe Schuhriemen · 01-04-2006, 07:34 AM

I feel for you guys who just have to start it up and look at it in the garage and WAITTTTTTTT. These vehicles were meant to be driven. I sure wouldn't like it if I just had to look at it. I'll appreciate my situation a little more when I take her out shortly. Take heart, maybe a warm spell is coming for you shortly.

Yeah - but real men eat snow for five months and have abnormal relations with vehicles

What is abnormal?
People who wonder why all of us SSR owners spent big bucks on a rare retro style truck/ street rod.

History in the making in Buffalo, NY!

Yesterday was the 11th. day in a row without at least 3 minutes of sunshine. WOW! Breaking an 85 year record!

Scott 0168 · 01-04-2006, 05:24 PM

Same amount of days here in Michigan too! Come on Global Warming,

I would have figured that would happen in Up state NY where my ex-wife lives
