It's getting to be that time So everyone in the northeast is probably like me and trying to get those last few days in with your car. What I wanted to see is what everyone does to their cars before they store them for the winter. Everyone seems to do different things so I'm interested to see. |
Whats wrong your car doesnt run in the cold? |
Before I park the SS in the garage for the winter months, I do the following; - Wash and Zaino - Fill the gas tank - Change the oil and filter - Park the wheels on wooden blocks - Place a battery tender on the battery I've been following that routine for about 6 years now without any problems. |

Put it in the garage and start doing more mods! If it's not bitter cold and no snow I'll drive it around the block 1-2 times a month just to keep everything lubed and the batt charger. No major driving, car has little heat and the freaken hurst T-bar shifter gets mighty cold! But right now I'm replacing the motor, hoping to get it running in the next few weeks so i get get it inspected too. |

BS!! You put the cover on the race car for the winter in hopes that when it comes off in the spring it wipes the dirt off with it!:jest: That is the funniest thing I've heard all week. Last year I did a couple burnouts infront of my house drove it on the trailer and didn't open it back up for 6 months :jest: And when I finally got the trailer unstuck and put some air in the tires... it fired right up and did another burnout. Race cars aren't supposed to be washed :D The race car isn't getting put away this winter... we've got work to do. :devil: |
