Hood, seriously considering parking mine for good this year, too.  This fall has been awful for driving. 

I also took mine out last Saturday, probably the last day it goes for a decent run.  It was about 65* sunny, no wind.  Absolutely perfect.  I had about 20 minutes to spare and I went on a cruise.  Man did that feel good. 

Looks nice and cozy.  I helped rip shingles off and put tin on the garage where mine is kept- at a friends house for the winter.  It'll be a sad day when mine goes to sleep.   :crying:

I see you have a guard dog to keep the big kitty away from the fish. It all makes sense now... :smilielol:

Fish and Cats are like oil and water....Good thing I have my Yorkie Guard Dog looking after the Cuda!!!!  :smilielol: :smilielol:  :smilielol:

It must really suck to have to prepare your cars for the winter.  But I was told that covering these vehicles for a long period of time is not good for the paint.  If that is true how do you all who must cover your cars deal with the problems covering can cause.  I live in Florida and we quite often have temperatures in the 80 during Christmas.  So I am able to drive year round.

My Cuda has at times been covered up for as long as three years.  I have no paint problems after 30 years but I can only speak for myself and the way I "store" my car.
