I do a lot of side work in mine. I work on a lot of friends cars to pay for all my mods. Lol

I keep mine warm by driving it every single day.

It sleeps outside in my driveway, behind my Camaro.
I think they are happy. Or at least my Vette is. It gets washed, and waxed. Washed once every two weeks (weather be damned) and waxed every month and a half (again weather be damned. In the summer the waxing moves up to once a every car wash). My Camaro is probably not as happy with me, since it's waiting on me to find the right donor car to gut to ''fix'' it up with a Diesel engine.

Which part is wrong? The Camaro that's going to get a Diesel stuffed in it? Or that my vette sleeps outside?

Mine is in a heated garage, temp never goes lower than 60. I am counting the days until the salt is off the road and my 96 is back on the highway.

Got WAY too tired of working in the garage when it was 100+ and 90% humidity.

His garage looks nicer than my house.

I'll just move into his garage!

The diesel,sleeping outside is all ive had in the past. Ive got an old 2 car garage that is half cement and half dirt.I use card board under my 93 when i have to work on it and i have a small electric heater if needed.I cant believe some of these pictures no wonder it took me 61 years to get my 1st vette!

Never heard a complaint from them...both of them are car guys. One has a BMW Z4 (M) and the other has a Solstice.

It might have been that the bar is right outside the shop, the pool table and they didn't have to climb any stairs at the end of the night, too...

1500 watt ceramic heater when it drops to 60 - wax takes too long to set up at that temp.

My vette sits under a cover and freezes. No need to keep it warm.
