Looks like no garage door either. Must be a Bubba saving it until he afford to get back to it. (read probably never)

What a shame! :sad:

Is it one of those garages where they have thousands of boxes of junk in it while they let thousands of dollars of beautiful machine sit outside? :nono:

What is so difficult abput backing it up 20 feet? What a dweeb.
There is a guy in my area too that has a very nice orange '75 that he puts in the garage during the summer, and then parks outside in the winter. :sad:

Snow's not so bad.


But yeh, if you happen to have a garage, put it in there! Or else get out there and follow the example of my sig pic. :D

Edit: in case you're interested, hehe As you'll see it's realllly slow going due to the thick snow, but we do get a couple snow-flying spins in there. http://webpages.charter.net/wcarlile/part01a_low.avi

Snow? Hmm... I've heard rumors about that stuff... I leave my vette in the driveway year round. The worst thing we get is hail, and that doesn't affect my fiberglass baby. I'd put her in the garage if I didn't have an immobile Ford in there.

Well...look on the bright side. One more rotted, rusting hulk makes ours that much more "rare"/valuable. There's a few in my area that have weeds growing up through the wheels. Whatever...

Snow doesn't make the car rot, salt does. Snow is just frozen water. If I saw a Vette like that, I would think "well, at least he's not driving it in the winter."

A little snow on the roof doesn't hurt a Vette. In the spring it just melts and rolls off. :cheers:
