Hi,
Cut the grass for the last (?) time today.
Patiently waiting for Dec. 21 when the days start to get longer again.

A wife or girl friend will NEVER understand!
I really never put mine away for winter storage and only drive it when it's dry and the roads are salt free.
Look at this way, now you can do all those little projects you put off during the summer so it wouldn't have to be off the road.

Some of us have a wife who's a car enthusiast too.
We've had hard freezes and snow here in Minnesota already, so I prepped our '80 early. My wife was watching and asked, "Are you sure we need to put it away already?"

I haven't put the car cover on it yet, It's all nice and shiny and I want to be able to look at it every day even if I can't drive it.

Yes it is time to winterize the vert. I guess I'll have to lay under it to open the heater core hose valves for the brutal winter days ahead when the temp drops into the '60s.
