Im putting mine away very soon. We have gotten snow showers and flurries almost every day for the last two weeks, so I think thats fair enough warning. I had better get it done this weekend.

I'm not going to be storing my car for winter. It doesn't really matter in Las Vegas, NV. Ya, plus i'm 15 and can't afford two cars. The coldest it gets in the winter is like 40 degrees on some days or something like that(i don't really pay attention). It just takes longer for start ups and harder to start the car. When i get my rebuilt engine i plan on getting new ignition.
