Car says "goodbye" for the winter...
 
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 :eek:

Eitherway winter sucks :mad:

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
