Default She said her goodbyes...

It was hard to put her away for winter. I wish I could drive her still but weather is coming down and its going to be snow season. So untill April, I cant play with my baby, other than in the driveway and garage... Insurance went from 150 a month to 13.50 a month so ill be saving quite a few bucks. Id like to keep the mileage off of it too. Ive got some plans on putting a computer in and sell my alpine 9835 which is in there now. She will also have cobra brakes up front with SS braided lines and green stuff pads, and backs will get new rotors and green stuff pads as well.

So here she is in all of her glory (minus the picture quality) after I cleaned her up real nice in and out (just the way she likes it) she came straight home and into the garage.

yep, mine has been tucked away in the garage for a month since blowing out that spark plug. It's fixed now but really is too late to put insurance back on it for the week or 2 that I'd be able to drive it. My luck... the day I put insurance back on it, it will snow

It must suck to live above the mason dixon line. That's even too far north for me. I have to drive my car daily. It's my only one Lol. But I work usually 6 days a week, and work is only 4 miles away. I get occasional Sat. off and Sunday is for drankin so I get the driving out of the way before I start that. Had car for 1 year and she has a grand total of 6700 miles. When it does snow here it aint usually a hard freeze kinda thing. Maybe 1 hard snow, freeze, north style weather every 3 years, so not much salt being spread. I'll just keep her cleaned up on weekends and drive her as normal.

Dear god lets not remind me of Marylands roads turned Beach's come winter. It's rediculous, and it stays forever. You gotta wash your car more in winter then in the summer...

Thats sad, but I guess its a good thing as you can cut down on gas, save some money for mods, and not have too much insurance to pay as well. Look at the bright side, itll be that much better when it comes out. Easy for me to say, I drive my car everyday...

yeah I will be driving the mustang all through the winter here at school. It's going to be hell getting to and from campus. It snowed yesterday here in binghamton and I got my first taste of what the car is like in some slush. It's gonna be kinda ugly, and my top has a small leak.
