Putting my car away diary...
« on: October 25, 2007 - 10:26:38 PM »
LOL, I was bored, thought I'd share the drive to my car's hibernation spot.

The first pic is in the shed before I left, second is waiting outside my friends garage, third is in.  Not permanant, he has to move a few things, so it will probably go in and out a few more times before I put it up on stands for good.    :crying:

Wow, that first vid I look scary, lol.

That is the only bad thing about living up north.  You have to put your toys away for winter.  I get to drive mine year around. :woo:

That's a bummer.  We just had about our nicest day of the season here in Dallas.  Today was sunny and 70 with very little wind.  The forecast looks about the same for the next week.

Thanks Bigs!  Darkness does my car wonders, lol. 

Yeah, its a big bummer.  But its the greatest when you get it back out and go for that first cruise.  It feels like the first time.   :cooldancing:

And ladies, I look even better in person.   :naughty:

Can you post a video on the computer off of a tape? or does it have to be recorded on the memory stick?

Yes, it's that time of the year here in SW Wisconsin, too.  I guess my parents already have something like an inch back home.  Hopefully I don't get stuck in a snow storm on my way back home for Thanksgiving break. ::)

This isnt directly related to Cudas or Challengers?   :dunno:

Chevyconvert:  I used our digital camera, with that it is really easy, just takes a bit longer than pictures.   :2thumbs:
