Default Lost My Car!!!

Has anyone seen my car?



Measured 13" of snow in Thomaston, Ct. Snowed for 6 hrs. Guess we won't go for a ride today.

I like it. Beautiful to look at. A day away from the office. Put the truck in 4 wheel drive and go out and play like a teenager. Doesn't get any better.

I drove mine until the first snowfall. It's not going anywhere now that they put half of our beaches on the road, coupled with TONS of salt.

Hey Bob,
You need to get a car capsule for your vette. I've got one of the outdoor models for my vert and love it. Its the best car cover I've ever used. Just drive the car into it zip it up and turn on the motor and in about 3 minutes the capsule is inflated and car protected. I usually wash and wax the vert in Oct/Nov put it to bed in the capsule and leave it until spring....unzip the capsule, car is just as I put it away, best part is the inside of the capsule is dust free because of the air filter.....Only takes a few minutes to open up the capsule if you want to drive the car on a nice day, not much longer than to remove a regular car cover...
