I drive my car all year long no matter what so this is nothing different to me.

cfamilyfix 12-26-11 08:51 PM

I was real upset I put the GLC away for the winter and the weather has been great, plus my my fb project is in the driveway and not running yet so its blocking everything up.

tuscanidream 12-27-11 02:40 PM

My girls car will be done just in time for snow... :ugh2:

I foresee me picking her up many times this winter for I will be nervous. Anyone have experience with studded tires?

Rob XX 7 12-27-11 03:44 PM

I drove it yesterday, to park it again, lol

Hoping the weather stays clear I have a appointment in the next week or so to get some welding fab shit done, then its back into the garage.

rob xx7 i wish my dad was like you..
he collects books.. (such a L7)
wanna adopt me ?

Rob XX 7 12-27-11 04:21 PM

that aint my dad, I wish my dad was cool like that too

that is a very good customer of mine, who has 30 or so cars scattered about. That is a rental house and he converted most of it to parking and he rents a small part of the house out to a buddy of his to keep an eye on things. There are 2 more cars over on the right.

We were talking a few weeks ago and mentioning last winter and I said how the large tent I keep my car in took a beating last year with all the snow and without hesitation he gave me the combo to the garage and insisted i park my car there for as long as I like. Fucking heated floors- my car has never had it so good, lol

Part of the house he keeps as a emergency apartment, right now he has his bicycles up there, had to be 15-20 classic schwinns like a lemon peel, orange crush- all sitting up there on the new carpet living a nice life. Place is nicer then my house.


this is my usual parking spot

lol i thought you was ... a "old head" and had acquired a AWESOME!! collection lol but thier way you shop is nicer then mine.. i have a historic barn with electric that ...welp is mostly ran off extension cords.. it gets COLD in the winter to the point where i come in and my windows are frosty and in the summer time.. it stays cool..unless the doors stay open..

but all in all its a NICE BIG garage for the money.. 125 gets me a 4 car garage with ample room to work on close to my place only grapes i have is that the floors are crowned.(used to be a cattle slutter house)

this weather is CRAZY tho.. i get the feeling we are ganna be in the summer months with winter weather..

Rob XX 7 12-27-11 06:02 PM

funny thing is I own a shop, but we do messy work and I cant be leaving my car inside for too long, whatever I do has to be over the weekend or over night. Then back in the tent it goes.

My garage at home has a DIRT floor! its more of a shed.

no_luck 12-27-11 06:11 PM

dude that sucks!! i hate working in dirt floors..

just pour a slab of quickcrete in that bitch shouldnt be to hard and its only like 9 bucks a bag i think.. do a lil at a time..

Rickyyp 12-27-11 10:37 PM

atleast you guys have a garage! ahaha thats a sick set up though.

ill have the guy pour the concrete, but its still a bit narrow its a pain in the ass and inconvenient for me to keep the car at home, but i need to do something next year. My current plan is a new top for the tent, pour concrete at home and run electric back there to run a dehumidifier and attic van to keep it dry.

wooo! been taking it out every weekend for the past 6 weeks. I got my driving and starting tune almost perfect, now working on boost. Car is finally getting there...

ecko 12-28-11 08:37 PM

havnt drove in 4months :( only to make the car better for next year so should be worth it.

demonpoodle 12-31-11 04:55 PM

im just hoping this weather holds out. im forced to DD my 7 until next summer when i'm getting another car. at least then i'll be able to properly restore it..

1QWIK7 01-07-12 08:06 PM

lol what winter? It got up to 59 degrees this afternoon. I didnt get a chance to take the FD out though but definitely tomorrow, although its gonna be like high 40s. I dont think we're getting a winter lol. I dont know why i bought a winter beater, i might just sell it now lol.

beefhole 01-07-12 10:03 PM

I didn't take it out, but I fixed my turbo oil return line leak today. :)

However, I went for a quick romp Thursday night... that cool, dry 40 degree air... all the toil and struggle is (sometimes) worth it.

billt 01-08-12 04:14 PM

This is the 14th year for me daily driving my FD...and the first time I have ever driven it in Jan. I am DD to work in Jan. with the sunroof OPEN??? Consider this my small contribution to global warming LOL.

OpusEx 01-22-12 09:17 PM

Hope to have mine running before the weather turns warm. Would look forward to meeting some of you local folks.

pls91fc 01-26-12 12:50 PM

Mine is still in storage. There is still alot of sand and salt on the roads from the few small snow showers we had. That is what I fear, road salt! But it does look like we will get an early start to the spring this year!
