Anybody put there car away yet or still criusin?
« on: October 26, 2005 - 01:05:10 PM »
I haven`t driven my `cuda in over a month due to my surgery but I`m hoping I`ll recover in time for a few more blasts around town.In fact I keep it registered and insured all year just in case we have a really nice day in late November-early December.Has anyone parked theirs yet?Also what upgrades or mods do you have planned over the winter.I am pulling my heads and cam to figure out how to get more power out of my combo so I can hit the 12`s next spring and finally get my custom fiberglass hood finished and installed.

I have not parked either one as of yet and both are still legal.  I have plans to store the convertible and tear the hardtop to pieces!!  Hopefully get started after halloween.  Still have the powerboat in the water I have to deal with soon also!  Anything can happen here in Michigan!

Haven't got mine but you can drive all year round down here....I guess like the Southern states.


4C - Are you really going to restore the hard top? (Just that it looks fantastic)

My Cuda is in the garage as usual, but I hope to take her out a few more times this year.  I will drive her as long as there isn't any salt on the roads.  Once it snows and they put the salt down she is parked until spring  :(

I'll do that NZ, on my way to Frisco.  LOL (only with the opposite of sleeping pills)

 All the cruise-ins have stopped around here, but there are a couple more shows in November.  After that, Pixie and I will be spending our time on the duster and Red will be upgrading the steering on the Challenger...going to a firmfeel box.

Rev does it snow in Atlanta? I mean, can you drive all year round if you want to? Just curious, I thought Atlanta was far enough South. :-)

It snows here occasionally and the city shuts down for three days...it's hysterical...the grocery stores run out of milk and bread!  But, they don't salt the roads or anything, so we could drive year round if we wanted to.

Cool thanks Rev, I hope everyone gets the chance (if they want to) to drive their cars if the weather is right.

Wow, that is right around where we were in NY this AM.  Boy, I am really not ready for this.
