Lets see your winter storage

just a thought.....

Well, right now the Caprice is parked in one side of my garage all snugly. The wagon is currently parked next to the side of the house because it's too stinking cold to finish the turn signal switch. It is ZERO F outside right now. I took the battery out and stuck it inside so it wouldn't freeze (the car hasn't been started in probably two weeks now). It's not supposed to get above freezing until Wednesday.

Al Gore is probably hiding somewhere.

Joel, welcome to the scenic winter wonderland known as upstate New York.


By the way was that "F" as in Fahrenheit, or as in ZERO F***ing DEGREES?

You don't want to see mine. My Impala is in the garage, front up on stands, hood open, and boxes and crap stacked all on top of the car. Wagon is sitting outside coated in salt.

Good to know. The dome lights had been on for awhile while I was messing with the steering column so I was worried it would run down. B-body batteries come out in 5 minutes if you have the right tools so it was a quick thing for me to do.

It is, once I don't have to cart Bella around. She starts Daycare Thursday and Momma is bringing her!

Both '95s are tucked away in an 18 by 19 garage. Bunch of stuff looming overhead just waiting to fall:



Actually that stuff is all secured very, very well. Just gotta hope the DCM starts up or I'm gonna need to push it outa there. Hood won't open where it sits...

Wow, you have much more confidence in your hanging skills than I have in mine!

This storage is only temp though...until the ice and snow melts. Lol

50 people a year are killed by falling coconuts. seriously.

Really? That's actually a rather shocking statistic, assuming that's true.
