WOW six f'ing months that really sucks sorry to hear its never good for cars to sit for that long without running and god knows what those guys might do to it and by the time you get it back you will never be able to prove it i would have sold it and bought a new one once you got back home

LOL, thought you were going to say "and it fell off the ferry when a big tidal wave crashed over it"...it could be worse man, I'm sure your uncle will keep it clean and safe...I leave my cars at my uncles place whenever I have to travel anywhere...he can't beat on them any harder than I do, and it's safer than leaving them in my driveway with nobody there to see if they get stolen.

I have to store mine tomorrow too.. Had my last drive with her tonight. I'm having shoulder surgery in 5 hours, and having a 6 speed really blows right now. Shes tucked away under a cover in the garage until march next year.
