Default Last Ride...................

Last ride for this year. Took the vette out for a spin up to the mountains. Got a cup of coffee and stopped at an overlook and just sat there and enjoyed the view.
Came back home and changed the oil, fogged the engine and removed the battery and covered the car for winter storage. I have to be good to her this winter she won TWO trophies this summer. Put the lock on the shed door and unfortunately its over till spring time :cry :cry

Hey Richie,

Keep the faith man, we're gonna get some nice days this winter. I'm not storing mine so to speak. I'm putting battrey disconnects on them, but the first sign of some decent weather, I'll be cruisin'.

Glad you got to enjoy yours some.

Joe..

Rickie,
I feel pain here. That's why I love the winter here in South Carolina. More than 2 days of winter weather here and they call out the National Guard. :cool:
