View Full Version : Oh did it feel good to get CALL911 out again!

I put it away in the fall of 2008, and it finally got fired up and drove for the first time yesterday. I carefully drove it running out the old gas, and did a oil change, before opening it up. It still amazes me how much the car impresses me with its power and acceleration (even though I have felt it a million times before).

It really put a big smile on my face to drive it again! :devil:

I don't have much time with it before I have to put it away again, so for all those out there that want to see some new footage, I'll try to get some video for people.

I am actually in my home town in Indiana where the car was stored for the last several months (19 but whos counting). I will leave for OK in a week, and the Z will go back in storage. I love the car dearly, and it does start every time I turn the key. But I am definatly not ready to turn it into a DD, and would feel safer about putting it safely back away until I return from OK.

I will be driving the Formula out to OK.

:frustrated:

Due to lousy weather every single time I had a chance to get the car out, I didn't get any footage. I was able to drive it around and in between the rain showers I even got to open it up. But nothing was worth turning the camera on for.

Sorry for the dissapointment for those that might have wanted to see some new footage. :doh:

All and all for sitting that long, I am happy that there isn't anything major that needs repair. I am due for a new clutch but that is nothing new. The shocks in my hatch are bad, and need to be replaced. I think the car needs a new fuel filter as it gets a little worse mileage than it did before. A new plug change wouldn't hurt either. All to be replaced next year when I get it out again.

It felt amazing to drive it again. It really reminds me how much I dearly love the car and how it drives/performs. Unfortunatly now I have to go and put it away again for another year :cry:
