Last Drive of the year.

Went out yesterday for one last drive before putting the car into storage for winter. These G92 cars a blast to drive! I was ice skating all over the road yesterday.

Here are a few pics I snapped with my phone.

Me too. After the chores were done, I burned up the last hour of sunlight taking a drive for the heck of it....just to enjoy the car and the weather.

Re: Last Drive of the year.



that is a cool pic. this picture captures the essense of what an '89 Formula is all about.

though it looks like some photo editing was done, the result is a wicked color that would look fantastic on a third gen.... like slightly more yellow than sunset orange. beautiful.

That photo did turn out well. Really shows the aggressive stance and look of these cars.

Although you are right I did some editing on my phone with Adobe photo shop express.. There are some cool effects and filters in that app.

Re: Last Drive of the year.

Your car looks fantastic! Last drive of the year is time to crank the tunes and go on some curvy roads. Kinda depressing when pulling in the drive knowing it will be a while till the next time.

MJS422-we definately have to try and meet up next season at a cruise in or show!! I would love to see your car in person.

Re: Last Drive of the year.

Kymmee,

Thanks for the complement. The car is turned out nice compared to what it was. Not perfect but it does look nice. I agree we should see if we can meet at a cruise in or something.. Its always good to compare notes and experiences with these cars. Never know what you might learn. Keep me posted on what events are going on next season. Thanks again.
