What does spring bring for you?

I am pumped for March to get here and hopefully be folled by some warmer temps so I can take my winter shoes off the car.

Some people saw I picked up new wheels & tires last summer and there was a huge mess with the colors. I ordered a hyper black that looked black. I ended up with 9 wheels total, none of which matched in color shade and none where even close to the hyper black the company advertised. Discount Tire in Rogers was fantastic to deal with in the whole process and now my summer tires are enjoying room temp storage in Rogers while my wheels are getting painted a nice gloss black while keeping the polished lip.

Here is the before pics: http://thedahlens.com/gallery/album03/IMG_0463

I can't wait to see the new pics. Other than that I am pretty set on hitting up MAP sometime this spring/early summer for a full exhaust system, and then I'd with either do suspension or upgrade my spearkers a bit.

The above changes if we pull the trigger on the new gargage sooner than expected and then I'll start looking for a little cheap fun car. Most likly I'll just play a tad with the 6 though.

What are others looking forward to this spring/summer? :drive1:

Looking forward to actually driving the damn thing. Snow cripples the Potenzas, so she's been collecting dust (quite literally) since November. Other than that, maybe new wheels/tires, and maybe some CF eyelids and a CF wing lip.

Yeah, I love shedding the clothing... I hate walking around with 5 layers on. Also, I like the women in less clothing.

I am going to try and buy a house this summer as well, so that is something to look forward to, if it becomes a reality.

For me it's boating. I can't wait to get back on the water. I'm on a mission to hit 80 MPH with my Waverunner. This has been a 6 year project. Stock, it ran 63.5. Last year, it hit 79.4 on GPS. I just gotta lose some weight!



Here's the boat, an old '88 Baja 19 1/2' bowrider.

My favorite thing to do is put in at Hastings on the St. Croix River and then drive 12 miles up to Hudson, WI. Then, have a couple beers at Dick's Bar & Grill.
