So yesterday I'm out in the Speedster cruising along the coast and eventually stop for some lunch. I find a great spot in the parking lot and as I start walking way from the car, I turn and take a parting glance at the car and think to myself... Dang, this never gets old!!

It's a beautiful car!
Jim, I know, mine's right out our glass front door, in our carport, and I never, ever tire of the view, viva White Cloud!
Sometimes I just lift up the cover to make sure it's still that red that I love........Bruce
So, this is the third year in a row that I have stored my Intermeccanica off site. I have to admit that there was a little separation anxiety the first year. But since I can't drive the car for 4-5 months, out of sight is kinda out of mind (a little bit anyway). Plus, it's just in the way of the snow blower and I give up the spot so the kids can park inside sometimes.
Jim, like always your car looks badass!
Yeah, what is there not to like about a black IM oops I mean 356. 
No it doesn't Jim, no it doesn't! And I'm so glad we live where our driving season is 10-11 months long.
Nope, Jim...
It never gets old.
Life is the journey, isn't it?
Jim, I've always admired the many photos (and videos) you've posted on this forum of that beautiful Speedster and since I finally got one too I better understand exactly where you are coming from. For example. Since getting one myself I usually begin the day by singing in the shower like Luciano Pavarotti which is something I never did before. I also smile and laugh a lot more than before.
Bottom line, what is it about a Speedster not to like? It's got to be more than just part of the madness but what ever it is, I love everything about it.
It's an awesome and sexy looking car, with a great stance!
when VS wants to, they do build great cars at a great price.
Often, I take a second look at a speedster project setting in the shop before I head out the door :~)

One day you'll find one you want to keep.
HAH! I crack myself up sometimes! 
Hey Cliff, or should I say Luciano, what is her name? After all that singing she's has to be a girl and what is her name? ...Mine "Sabrina" I bet most of us have given our cars some feminine name ... just saying..

Ray, yes she has a name but it's not as sexy as it probably should be. Her name is "Pug" after a breed of dog that has a short muzzled face and a compact body with well developed muscles. In Latin they've been described by the phrase "multum in parvo" or "a lot of dog in a small space" alluding to their remarkable and charming personality, despite its small size. They are very sociable but like a woman also vivacious and teasing. Incidentally, one was actually judged Best in Show at the World Dog Show.
Agreed Jim,
But the madness is constant.

Jim everything about your car is right. Of course the best part is you d I've the hell out of it.
NO it don't, Jim!
I'm only about 6,000 miles in, and I'm glad to know I'll still be turning back for that glance 94,000 miles from now...
If I'm working in the garage on some other project, I have to cover it or I can't concentrate on what I'm supposed to be doing. I've had the car for almost 10 years and it still stops me in my tracks. Is that normal?
Yes. Yes it is.

Big Al, yes! Its just that YOU'RE not normal.... but we already knew that! 
Ray, I like that pic a LOT! Thanks for sharing. 
Amen Brother..... It never gets old!!!!
Glad to know that feeling never goes away... but equally important, where'd you stop for lunch? We still need to meet up for a cruise and some lunch.
Devin - I'll post something under 'Events' for a morning cruise! Glad you're enjoying your Speedster. Hope you & family are enjoying your new home!
