...and even though she's loud, leaks, squeaks, creaks, smells, is slow and in no way matches up to the Evo, she can still put a smile on my face.
That's all, now I'm sure I can never get rid of this car. It will become a project car as I have time and money to build it as such

I know the feeling, bro. I opened the garage door for the first time in about three weeks and fired up Daisy the other night. Man. It was pretty sweet. The super short throw of the shifter... the contours of the cockpit... the lope of the exhaust... I kinda miss that.

I fired mine up yesterday for the first time in a few months and since all the snow has melted finally. Had to get a new battery and replace the positive battery terminal...no big deal there.
I laughed about the its loud, creaks, squeaks, rattles etc...cuz mine does the same thing haha. I fell in love again when I slipped that clutch and went through the gears.

Can't wait until I drop the tranny this weekend and get my new clutch put in. I'll be babying it for about 1k miles, but man it will be nice to drive it again.

LOL, don't they all at this point. I just wish I could push her a little, shifting at 2500 rpms isn't exactly exciting. The only problem is if I go for a spirited drive I can drop a quart of oil on the ground

I know how you feel, turning the engine over after its been a while is such a good feeling! I might make a new thread to see if you guys think anything will go bad after mine's been sitting for a while.

It's been about 5 months since i've driven the RS-T, it was warm out, and snow was gone, so i thought what the hell! Man i tell you it's such a different feel to driving the eclipe than the 1G laser..I feel like i sit up higher in the car, the clutch feel is totally different, the short shifting, the tires and suspension..I felt like i had to re learn how to drive it again lol..It was much needed fun though It makes it hard to think about selling it..
