Took it out today The car has been sitting since the beginning of October. The insurance is off of it so I just started it and drove around the subdivision alittle. Thought it was a good idea to get it up to operating temp and move all the gears, fluids around. It felt good to be back in it again, cant wait till spring

I hear ya. I only put 700 miles on mine this year because I was doing the engine. It sat all year and by the time I got it back on the road, it was almost time to put it away.
Who am I kidding it sat while it was running too.

I thought I was weird for doing that myself. But now I know it's ok, I guess. Trending Topics

I think we all sit in ours..
When I came back from Iraq, I sait in it for a little bit. It had a blown Head Gasket then, so it didn't go anywhere, but it was over 4 months of not seeing it.
Then I killed it at Memphis a couple of months later, sat in it some more when it was dead..
Now it rides again
