Actually, I have a "test" going now. My GF fell down the stairs a week ago, so I've been driving her to work. On top of that, it's in the low 40's here in CO again, so Violet's been sitting for a week and a half. I'm sure she'll be sitting for at least another week :(
Oh, well, at least Blue is fun to drive!
