After a long winter and now the health crisis I was getting a little down. Broke out the GT today and used that to get groceries. How much better I felt after that drive. Plus I got to see how a C Body fit in the garage at new home.

Amen brother.. driving these old girls is certainly a therapy session. And one that I’m happy to attend as often as possible. After all! the seats I kind of like sitting on the couch anyway. Lol

I’ve been driving my silver Imp for a week now and life is better.

The Monaco is hard to drive right now with no seats in it Matt.
So......my car therapy is.....
Seats out getting redone.
Radio sent to G. Tayman.
Carpet on order from SMS.
(all 3 are busier than heck)
Figure it’ll all come together just as the garage warms up in April.

With the market crash, wiped out investments, and economic uncertainty, life outside the garage sucks.
Life in the garage is a necessary and positive attitude adjustment.

Mmm, I need to get my GT out more too don't I?
Ditto for me - yesterday evening I finally got the garage ready at our new home where the T&C is to go, and so I went and brought her home from storage.
It's like it was last driven a couple of days ago - she fired right up - the heat blows hot, the AC blows ice cold, it steers, goes into gear nicely, shifts great, brakes work great, autopilot and sentinel all worked, clock had only lost 4 minutes, radio was good.
The only thing I noticed towards the end of the drive was some pulsating from the dash lights and amp gauge - probably just the regulator wanting to top up the battery...
All in all a very pleasant and therapeutic 15 mile drive home!!

Don't think I have seen a Fury with that GT lettering on the side - WAY cool - looks great in that blue as well.

I saw that too! Looks pretty nice.
Is that from a Road Runner stripe kit?

I love that 71 John!
I've been using my 69 Polara Wagon as a daily for the past month or so, it definitely helps ease the mind during this time of uncertainty. Also the fuel prices are nice!

Given where you live not sure on the roads but if you have the time and resources get out for short day trips. Fill your cooler with food and drinks and hit the road. Amazing what you may find driving some of the back roads.
