I try to keep my mind off of the lack of outdoor car stuff by illustrating more and working more on my websites. I've got suspension parts to install on the 'bird, so I might just perform my first Winter car project.

My goal this year was to hit the 12's. I managed a 13.002 last week, and the possibility of trying to beat that this year doesn't look good due to the weather. I guess it'll just have to bug me to no end until next Spring

I'm with this dude. I have a 91 geo tracker with a cage in it and nice 30" mud tires, a winch and it is a ******* blast to drive in the woods. We go to haspin acres and the badlands. This thing is a mountain goat.

But really, the winter time is for rebuilding and getting things ready for next year. And besides if it were warm all year around... my car would have alot more miles on it by now,lol.

I've got some good projects cooking this winter. 5.3 heads from TEA, G5x2 cam and a 6 point cage I need to buy and get put in. Also need to take the 9" apart to clean it out since the break in, it needs fresh oil in it.
Maybe a new K member and lower control arms!!

Now you see what good winter is around here!!! Other wise it would be hard to park it and get that kinda work done on it.

Damn straight. You end up saving more money when winter hits. You usually stay in more. When winter come, my light bulb turns on. More plans and ideas come for the car. Plus when the car goes in hibernation for 6 months. And you take it back out in the spring. The cars seems alot faster, and the fun starts all over again. 2 words "Winter Project"
