You're better off disconnecting the battery and not starting it if it's gonna sit a while and you don't have a battery tender.
Starting it and not getting it up to operating temp by actually driving the car is bad since you're getting moisture in the exhaust and other condensation gets built up that doesn't get to burn off
That's what I've heard but it should be up and running in another week or so...
Pretty sure strut mount went bad. Still haven't contacted Airlift yet. That said, I'm going back to non adjustable LCAs and UCA and getting a DSS carbon fiber driveshaft so I don't need to worry about adjusting the UCA for pinion angle. I'm hoping that will quell some of the rear end howl/whine and clunks from the drivetrain since the CF is supposed to be quieter than the aluminum shafts.
Put the Mustangs in the garage Saturday afternoon.
They're dirty and low on gas, not the way we wanted to have them sit a while, but hopefully we'll get a warm-ish day soon so we can take them out, clean them up, fuel them up, and put them away for a longer while.
It snowed last night, and that made me glad the cars were tucked away for now.
Guess it's time to start ordering parts for the over-the-winter changes, whatever they might be.
Yep - I'm glad I cleaned mine and tucked her in a couple weeks ago now. I sure miss her, but am glad to have a break from her, as I focus on our new house. Speaking of which, no mods for me for a while - as our $$$ goes towards the house, plus the garage, and the lift, and all the other stuff that goes in it.

This week I'll be topping off the gas too and adding some fuel additive and then a long hibernation.
Yep - that's exactly what I did. It was a sad day.

Agree 100%. I too used to start her up. Then I fouled the plugs later that spring. Stopped doing it since... and voila.
Every year when I hear of people putting there cars away for winter, it makes me glade that I live in California!
(the weather is the only good thing here, politics, cost of living and stupid laws here suck!)

And you can do donuts on the golden state bridge...
I've been tempted to do that. Well, iced tea at least. I don't drink coffee.
I don't either. I don't drink tea anymore either. Used to drink a half gallon of sweet tea a day, but I only drink water now. Haven't had a Coke ( soft drink )in 12 years, and only have sweet tea a couple times a year (usually my aunt's at Christmas, hers is the best I've ever had).

It has been in the shop since October 5. I got it back on Wednesday just in time for Thanksgiving. The FRPP axle backs were messed up in the crash so now I am really loving the Borla Stingers. Much louder, but sounds fantastic.
Yup it's open on holidays. They do close early though. Goooooood Coffees.
Wish I would have known!

Borlas are awesome. Now get some Kooks side pipes.
