Default Let the Air Out of the Bag Today

It's going to reach the 70's today. A good day to do some housekeeping in the garage. Interested to see how the fuel stabilizer held up.

Default in the 70's!!!!!!

We might get there by mid-June. Salt should be off the roads by 4/1. It is still cold, but I have not had a problem staying warm in the car. Also the car runs super with the density of the air when it is cool.
Nice garage, nice cars. Best of times I say!!!! Enjoy.

I have some concerns about putting plastic over your C2 with it retaining moisture under the plastic which would encourage rust. I would suggest a flannel car cover for indoor use versus plastic.

For some reason I pictured something more off topic.

How long have car capsules been around now? Moisture is exactly what they prevent.

Maybe the before photo will help.

I understand your point but the picture does not look like a capsule but just simple plastic placed over the car. If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Yep, that what happens when you Let the Air Out of the Bag. Highly recommend the capsule for any length of storage.
