Default Done for the year.

90% of the leaves are down. Snow tires are my DD, Moose hunt is over and deer Gun hunt starts the 2nd of November. For me all this means it's time for storage

Had some great drives this summer, met some great new Vette friends, renewed some old friendships and ate way to many buttertarts. Drove all summer with relatively minor mechanical issues cropping up

Looks like heavy rain for the next few days so I thought I'd better drive the ole heap one more day. Some fresh gas, pickup a jug of oil and a a filter for the weekend chore then I'm parked for the winter










-4 this am. Brrrrrrr. Had to turn the heat on

I keep mine on the road until first salting gets laid down then just oull into the garage and cover it up. Didn't do too many group cruises this year due to Anne's health. Will likely install Vintage Air and maybe a FiTech unit this spring. Have new carpet, door panels etc to install at the same time.
Time to order and instal new kitchen cupboards etc and rebuild bsmt from a music studio to a home theatre.

I'm debating whether to keep mine at home or store it in my buddies barn. I'll be out in it this Saturday, sucking in all that cool, dense air

As for sleds, I have a Yamaha, so no preps needed

Took my car for one last drive today. If I would of known the weather would be so nice this week I would have taken the insurance off the car next week.
Filled the tank, added stabilizer, and removed the battery (That was fun).

Was going to put mine away this past weekend, but saw the coming temperatures and put it off for one more week.

Hoping to get out today for a rip, and one good one tomorrow.

Than its sledding time ..

Got mine out today, with the roof down even. Feels great. Not to pounce on your parade Chris, but I hope it stays like this all winter long.

As a sled owner I would agree with your sentiments Stan. 19*C in November is nice.

Called it a season myself today. Went from having the top down to the cover on in one day. It was a great year. Spring can't get here fast enough!

Default Stored in Manitoba

Couldn't bare the thought of storing it for another winter, so I sold it to a real nice guy from Manitoba. Now it's his turn to store
