Storage? What is this ....... storage word you guys keep refering to? LOL

 

Storage as in store-age, means putting the car away for 5 looooooooong months so it doesn't turn into a rust bucket in 15 years. I'm already signed up at the same place as last year, (price went up). But I'm aiming for Mid-Nov again.

Oh and I only put about 1600km's on this year

 

I think you're the only one who puts less mileage on that I do... have you even passed 10,000?

Mine will go into storage late november and I doubt it will pass 17,000km's. So roughly 10k for the first full year without driving it to work. I've managed to put on over 30,000km's on the daily driver this year though

 

I have 6,400km's I showed my car to a bunch of peeps I used to work with in Markham... And one guy says "hahah.. and your car hasn't even had an oil change yet... " I said... "Yeah ok.. Try 3 oil changes "

 

Do the brake discs need any special treatment to prevent corrosion over the storage period (e.g. light coat of WD-40)? My Mustang will be stored in the same garage as my winter car. A lot of slush and salt falls onto the garage floor.

 

Todd, the brakes will have very light surface rust that will be cleaned off the wheels once you brake once or twice, nothing to worry about. I have the same situation as you.

I picked up a plug-in 110 decibel mouse deterrant for the garage to keep them away from the car.

 

Yep..almost that time of year...
I cringe..
It's like the season wasn't long enough.

I've now got 23,000+ on the car

 

I still only have 6250km's Haven't had a chance to drive much this year... been taking a ton of construction supplies to the cottage in the Taurus.

I'm aiming for mid-November again..... but this year is looking bad weather wise.

 

Got the oil changed today... If this weather keeps up it will be away by the end of the week, Nov 1 at the latest.

Just 1400 km's this summer for a total of 5600 in 2 years.

 

Oh my...... Someone with less kilometers less than I do!!!

 

Not something to be proud of, thats for sure!!! I know it's just a toy, but this is crazy.

Life just seems to get in the way somehow.

 

Man, someone owns a garage queen!

I have 45,000km on mine

 

Ten years from now I can laugh at you.
Thirty years from now I will still have my 2006 (if I am still here).

 

What's winter storage?

 

10 years from now I will have had a great 10 years.........and I'll buy another one

 

Ya you got to enjoy it a bit 15,000k on mine in 2 years all summer driving! After all you could pass away and someone else gets to enjoy it ,Iv'e seen it happen !

Enjoy the free spirit that Mustang is meant to be ,out on the open road having a good time with friends and loved ones thats what it's all about .

 

I will have had a great ten years, driven where ever I wanted, and won't need to buy another one. I'll really enjoy that extra 40 grand you'll have to spend.

 

Give me the next one for 35k and you can enjoy that

 

Dan even driving in the winter I would think it would more than 10 years. Heck my Taurus is 12 years old and still kicking....

Dan will be the first one on the board to drive an electric powered Mustang... muhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Mean while I'll be paying $10/litre for gas.... and loving every minute of it

 

Yah, I hope 10 years without too much wear and tear. But I'll be at 240,000km at this rate by then. If I'm lucky enough, I'll buy another one at that point. Right now, I'm doing what I can to keep her in showroom condition (minus the winter....but I wax and rustproof....seems to be working).

Electric mustang..........NEVER~! Mind you with the price of gas and insurance, I may have to raise a family in my car.
