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.

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

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. ******* 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..

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.

ill have the guy pour the concrete, but its still a bit narrow its a pain in the *** 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.

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.

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!
