Patrick http://wcrz.com/?p=10171 I mentioned weeks ago that I had taken the Solstice out of storage and was preparing for a spring/summer of fun driving. The little blue convertible has been sitting in the garage almost four weeks now, and has barely moved. Oh yes, there was that 83 degree day on a Sunday afternoon three weeks ago that I was able to get it out and take it for a spin through the "Hot Dog Stand" in Grand Blanc, but other that that, we wait.....and wait, for some real spring-like weather.

Patrick http://wcrz.com/?p=7036 It's a rite of spring at my house. It doesn't matter whether the groundhog sees his shadow, or what the date on the calendar says.
Each year, usually a few weeks before it is "OFFICIALLY" spring, I celebrate the coming season by rolling the Solstice out of storage, and prepare for a summer of driving fun!
This will be my sixth summer with the Solstice. Pontiac quit making them after the bankruptcy of General Motors and the elimination of the Pontiac brand.
This particular Solstice is a collector's item. It is #253 of the first one thousand made. Pontiac did a promotion with the television show, "The Apprentice", for the "First 1000" contest.
