so that is what i will do start her in spring... nice to have a garage for the car...
i haven't started mine in about 3 weeks, im getting kinda curious what the duals would sound like with a high cold idle.

My racecar shop is actually next to the airport, so it's the sheriff I have to deal with.
I haven't had any issues with the cops. I also don't have a street car that gets noticed anymore. We did make an offer on a house in N.L. to stay in until the new house & shop get built out in Minooka. Then we'll just sell it.

Does anyone know about any big trailer issues, We picked a house with a big side drive, so when we have to leave early I can just bring rig home with me. I forgot to even ask if they hassle people for having it in the drive.

Again, I want to say I hope they get better soon. They obviously got a nut off our streets.
They shouldn't give you a hard time. My neighbor is a NMRA guy, and keeps his enclosed trailer on a long side driveway as well. Is your shop done? I am not too far away from you (Laraway & Nelson) I would like to stop by sometime & check it out if it is. Let me know.

Note to self on the weather.....

"Self, next house you get, you NEED to have enough garage space for the daily driver as well".

It's too damn cold to be doing oil changes out in the driveway.

Thanks for the info Matt. It's just a temporary house, until our new one gets built. So I don't want to change anything or **** off the neighbors.

Actually I have been thinking about inviting some of the guys over after the new year to see the car. It's always nice to have more friends in the area. Plus I'll know more about which engine I'll use for next year. It's been too hard lately with what happened to our daughter. Thanks again.
