Winter is OVER!
« on: April 19, 2014 - 01:33:17 PM »
Just dug the car out of the garage and I can't believe it!!    NO ISSUES!   It did crank over for about 30 seconds before it fired but  . . . . ran good, no leaks, no puddles, idled good and appears that all I need to do is CLEAN!  Looks to me like the car would stay cleaner without the cover . . . . lol. 

Now all I need to do is lash the valves, change the oil, check fluids and air pressure and GO!  Also need to replace the windshield as I got a stone whipped at me from a oncoming car and now  . . . new glass is a must! 

Here are a couple shots from today right after the uncover!

Maybe it`s time to wash the cover. My car got to where it was dirtier after I took the cover off than before I put it on. It had collected a lot of dust over the last two years.
In search of the eternal buzz!

Yuck!  :faint:   That sure sucks! Sunny day here, wore a t shirt most of the day. Grass is even starting to green up in places.

I would think that is insane at this point as the ice has thawed off the small lake I live by and if that has thawed . . . Not good for any lake here.  Lake Michigan is huge and I know it was a very cold winter this year and maybe still thick enough for ice fishing . . .  :dunno:

Winter here was 75 and sunny. And 100% chance of sand.

I'm always thankful when the windshield gets taken out... Imagine if the rock had hit paint or the grill .. Besides new glass is great to look through & really not that much $$$...

I have not had good luck with rocks, got a new windshield in my truck and on the way home . . . . . Got hit again!  I was so mad . . . . Waited for a few months and replaced it again!

At least the glass is one of the most easiest things to change out.
