Spring must be near!

first sign of spring, I'm starting to see my 93 again!

I feel your pain....

The beach this weekend...



Did I mention it's 78, sunny, and spring break on Tybee Island? Alcohol infused College co-eds in bikinis anyone?

A sure sign of spring is when the little Crocus come up through the hood.

Good Lord....

I would die....how can you not cover that wagon up? That is so much snow...

Actually using a car cover makes things worse. None of the car covers I have seen are totally waterproof and what ends up happening is the snow melts during the warmer days, soaks the cover, than the cover literally freezes to the car. The plastic ones scratch the car when the wind blows and water condenses under the cover. In other words, if you can't store the car in a garage or shelter, you're better off leaving them be over the winter and polishing them up in the spring.

Well that answered my question!Considering the amount of work that you put into this wagon I would beg/borrow some indoor storage from somebody nearby.

Once the car is encased in snow, the temperature stays relatively constant. Day-Night temperature fluctuations resulting in condensation is what really affects cars. That, and freeze-thaw cycles. That '93 buried in the snow bank is probably just fine, and with some used oil on the undercarriage, it's pretty safe.

Well, that makes sense then! Ok, let it snow Pat

I once owned a 97 neon sport coupe( I even bought it new, special ordered it too..) the secound winter I put a special out door car cover on it, and in the spring when I pulled off the cover the clear coat had gone milky in areas from the humidity, it cleared up in the hot sun after a few days but I'll never cover a car outdoors again....
