Put my TR away today as well. Went out to check on it a few minutes ago. Tender's OK; Red Top's @ full charge. Snow scheduled for tomorrow night. Will be a long winter.

This will be the first winter I haven't had a garage for my baby, so I suppose I'll be leaving her at home while I drive my Jeep in the winter.
I know I'll be going home from school every chance I have to sit in her and drive if it's nice outside.
Goodluck!

Southern California is great, and you dont find too many roads flat and straight. If you ever come here go on the PCH and go through Mailbu Mountain roads and tell me if they are flat and straight.

Last day here too. Today is clean the car and garage day. Tomorrow is the start of the cold and snow. Driving a Vette from the end of March until the end of November wasn't too bad for up here. I'd kill to live near the PCH. Best roads I've ever been on.

I'll be joining the 'hibernating C5' club in a short while. My parents' neighbor is going to clear out a space in his shed for me. I expect they'll be seeing me a lot more frequently this winter!
