Cool Sad Day...

Sad day, put her in storage for winter, nothing but the best for her..

Lucky some rich dude decided to rent our Costco warehouse that moved closer to town and rented my space for $500 till end of April 2009.

Climate controlled 65 degrees environment and She is parked in between a Delorean and very large, very expensive motorhome.

Quite the place many exotics, motorhome, so many racing boats you can almost imagine Sonny Crocket and Tubs popping in. Can't wait for the white crap melting...

I wouldn't let my crossfire hang out with a delorean. I guess it beats hanging out with harleys.

I feel your pain. Mine has been parked since 11-1. Had our first road salting of the year this morning. Now the long wait for spring melt and road sweeping.

The only benefit to moving to Houston, (and I mean, SERIOUSLY, the only benefit) is that if there's any white stuff on the ground here the city shuts down. No end of season for me! I do understand your pain. Tucking in your ride for the winter can't be fun. But you have something too look forward too come spring!

When does that happen up there, eh? June? In Minnesota, we would call June spring some years. Followed by winter in October, and road construction in between.

I know how you feel since I used to do that with my special cars when I lived up in Minnesota. Just loving the year round fun I'm having with my Xfire here in Florida! Best move I ever made!

I dont have to put mine away in Oregon. I just have to deal with rain, lots and lots of rain. And an occaisional ice storm. Lots of great roads and scenery.

Yaa but what if it's Doc Brown's DeLorean, maybe it will wear off on mine and maybe I'll time travel when I hit 88MPH

Tell me if anyone thinks this is crazy, but I live in central Indiana and I will be trading in my 03 Passat for a CrossFire in January and it will assume daily driver duties. The snow/ice isnt too severe. I also plan to keep a steady supply of change for the car wash! Oh yeah I wont consider anything but a 6mt too

And I was moaning about putting the top up! Sorry.

Now I feel bad. But not too guilty to drive mine.

watch your mouth when you bad talk Houston.

I will smack you straight back to the north.

Seriously, there is a lot more than that as a benefit of Houston. Maybe its the giant race track known as beltway 8 that circles the city...or the smaller one known as 610. Though 610 is generally the slower of the two.
