I just have to rant a bit. I'm going nuts here in Michigan with this crappy freezing weather and salt all over the roads.

My 06 is sitting under a car cover in the garage and I can't do a freaking thing about it. For numerous reasons I'm getting REALLY sick of snow and salt.

I've done a ton of exterior mods to my stang since I got it last fall and now I'm ready to go to some shows!

Cruises! Babes! Burnouts! Drags!

Oh, I'm so sick of driving my 92 Explorer!!!

Who's with me?

Hey, I've been so bored at work that I'm scouring Ebay for mods I can do while my car is sitting in the garage. Anyway, I dunno if the V6 exhaust is the same size as the GT, but I saw this on Ebay:

LOL Which is worse:
1) Having the car but not being able to drive it
2) Having your car sitting in a defective railcar when it should have already been here ? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]

I feel your pain

I hear ya. Just put mine away again for a while, supposed to snow tomorrow. My truck's nice and all but I just can't get the same grin from mashing my right foot with 2000 more pounds and 40 less horses...

AMEN BROTHER!

I'm dying here too. Plus, knowing that I probably could have gotten away with driving it this winter considering the ultra mild weather we're having here also sucks.




I'm so SICK of not driving my car. I miss it so much! Plus I don't have a winter car, so I've been stuck taking public transit. Spring is so close I can taste it, but I just can't take this waiting anymore. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img]

If it makes you guys up North feel any better I was forced to keep my car in the garage today due to the weather (sunny 70s)... I took my boat out instead! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I've been driving mine all winter which includes two ice storms! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] It handled the ice just fine so far. I can't imagine putting it up for months at a time. That would drive me crazy and it's my only car anyways so I have to drive it no matter the weather.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nono.gif[/img] Because the snow, sand, salt and the pot holes with all the debris and the corrosion they cause are not our friends. All the Kool rides are stored for the winter here. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] Hang-on guys 9-11 more weeks and were back on the road, minus all those destructive items.

Yeah, mine's been in storage too for the last couple months. I've taken her out a couple of times since the weather around here is unseasonably warm. I usually just drive her around the block, or just enough to satisfy my urges ,then its back to the garage. The wait is short though my friends! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif[/img]
