my poor car has been sitting outside motorless along side Jays garage. Looked like some ice and snow might fall so we pulled it inside to dry out!! This is the first winter it has set outside. :o Had to put a tow strap on it to break it out!!:lol:

You should see ours.....parked side by side with 2 feet of snow on top and sides from it drifting. And probably ice underneath... Another reason to get the house done because all our furniture is taking up the whole garage, where the mustangs belong :(

Mine is tucked safe and sound in the shop. The exped on the other hand sits in the driveway. Had to chip the ice from the door handles this morning to get the kids to school. I don't like winter at all!!

Mine had a couple feet of snow on it... Might go over tonight and look at scuffing the engine compartment and spray bombing it!! :) Steve says he might start next week on the motor. :) I just have to get a few things out to him next week... i just picked up some stuff at Cincy Speed, that has to go out!!

That will teach it to blow up. Treat it worse than a dog.

I have 3 outside with 10 inches of snow on them. My coupe is in the garage all nice and warm.

You blow it up then leave it sit outside, shame on you!

It is more work than i thought when i started. Going to take the power pipe out tonight and try and put a little metal around it.
