Car says "goodbye" for the winter...

95mustanggt · 10-02-2002, 08:06 PM

Well, car had electrical problems today and left the wife stuck. I think it's just the battery, but the insurance expired on Friday, so I said screw it and pulled it in to the garage

.

Now it's time to do a lot of maintenance work. I might even get to mods this winter, but first and foremost is to make sure my baby is in 100% top condition.

I'll be doing all the regular maintenance, clutch, main seal, putting on a catylitic H-pipe and suspension (replacing worn bushings and tie rods).

This sucks, last year in Dallas I got to drive her all winter. I'm jealous of you southern guy (and gals)

Never had a winter in Ontario. I'm used to brutal freezing cold and winds in Edmonton. The cold that hits -40 without the windchill

Eitherway winter sucks

yea, I know...my parents lived in edmonton before I was born, its where my older brother was born...

...ive heard stories about how the entire town shuts down because it gets so cold out that even plugging in your car wont keep it warm enough, frozen antifreeze? hehe....thats some nasty schtuff...ive only been in -40 in ontario once, it was with the wind chill though, but they cancelled recess

...hehe

95mustanggt - I feel your pain on the winter issue. Even though I'm only in Columbus, Ohio, it still gets pretty darn cold here.

It makes it hard to post/read here in the winter time when all the southern and west coast guys are posting new track times, street races, mods, etc. Oh well.

I'll probably give my baby a good coat of Liquid Glass, complete interior cleaning, everthing - the works then put here away in the garage sometime in November.

Good luck getting the electrical problem resolved - hopefully it's just as simple as the battery.

Take care,
E
