Thank God I took advantage of yesterday's great weather to take the Challenger out for a couple hours. Wanted to do it today but had family obligations.
Still, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a nice weekend to come.

I took the Cuda out yesterday and the Challenger for a day of fun in the sun tod. The high was 86 here is southern IL. and I put 170 miles on the Challenger today. Here are a couple of shots I took one going down the road and the other sitting in a park with a punch of other car guys.

The day was a success.  I took the car out this afternoon for a nice cruise.  After I got home I put the top up and parked it in the sun to try to smooth out some minor wrinkles, and noticed the top was a little dirty.  So I delayed the end of the year oil change a while to scrub the top with some Simple Green.  It ended up looking nice!  Then changed the oil, mixed some Stabil into a couple gallons of AVgas and dumped it in the gas tank, and took another short drive to mix the gas up.  I stopped and took a few pictures with the top up and sparkling. (for some reason almost all of my pictures I've taken over the years show it top down! :clueless: :lol:)
Then it came time to go back home and park it for the winter.  I put the windows up for the first time since June!  Tucked it in with its car cover and said goodnight for 2007. :sadwavey:
It was a very nice day to end the driving season!

I was in the 70's today (north Georgia) and is suppose to get cold this week, so I figured I would take mine for a nice ride.  I decided to put some fuel stabilizer in the tank just incase it was the last of the season.  Not having a heater sucks when it gets chilly (never hooked up the heater hoses).
