Default Vader Vette

Put the old 75 up Tuesday. Either that or get up and de-ice my girls windows every morning NOT.I have A lean-to I built on the side of my shed in the back yard .Its so tight I drive the car into its winter home then take the T-top off grab a 2x4 attatched to the roof pull my self out of the car ,get the door open enough to get the t-top back on then shut the doors till March.I put my car cover on last year .big mistake, it made the whole car get surface wet so this year any body need a cover.Im not using it.
The car had A good summer won A Trophy at the Waverly Vet show A deer hit me and only broke the mirror base so all in all it was a great summer the car ran all summer without A burp. Happy Vetting everyone.

Hi SS,
Thanks very much for the picture.
I like seeing where other people live AND I like snowy scenes. We get a little here in Maryland, but nothing like I imagine you see.
I'd love to see a picture on occasion during the winter.
Stay safe and warm!
Regards,
Alan

I was at Cold Lake CFB for a few weeks on more than one occasion, and the first week of September got down to 18 at night some. Man, cold! But the Moosehead helped! LOL!

Out in the country where I live not so much......only at the intersections, but in the city watch out.....that stuff is nasty. It can be -20c out and water (salt water that is) is running down the street......if only people would learn to drive

This is the time of year I feel blessed. Except for rain and a couple of days a year with a dusting of snow we get to ride all year. It must make you appreciate your time with your vette more.
