Storing The T/A

When is everyone putting there baby to bed for the winter? Just cleaned mine up, changed the oil, and filled her up for the winter. Thought I'd do it now since I'll be in AZ for a week and a half!

I'll be doing the cruise this coming saturday then a car show on sunday and I believe I might be going to Flordia for 2 weeks and if I do the car will go away for sure this sunday. Otherwise it will go away at the end of the month. I dont like driving the car when its cold out so it will go away if it gets real cold out. My cars filled with gas and I also changed the oil today so its basicly ready to go away. Im ready though I just got a new cover for it so im all ready for winter. Im ready to take the snowmobile out so atleast I can have some fun over winter thankfully

Same for me. If there is no snow on the ground I will be driving it. Once the first snow hits it will not be driven anymore due to the salt on the roads.

Last weekend in October, or first weekend in November. That's when I put it away every year.

Only drove it about 700 miles this year.

Putting away?

I'm bringing mine out for the winter to keep the salt off of my old one. These cars are mostly plastic any way.

Heck, I might be putting my new motor in Saturday. If all goes right, I'll be driving that thing for the next month before I put it away. Haven't drove it since March and only put 10 miles on it then!
