Default Winter depression

I know winter is almost over but I just keep getting more and more bummed each time I start the stang up. I can't wait to take her out again. Of course I did a full tune up plus the tps mod before I put her away so she fires right up and runs better than when I got her....and she's just sitting there under the cover. With any luck the snow will stop and I'll be able to take her out mid-late March. I guess on the bright side the salt isn't rotting her out. I've got to move down south. [:@]

Must be nice! I still haven't got the h-pipe on yet which sucks. Right after I got it, the stang got snowed in so she's been sitting. I've gota bunch of stuff to do before spring once I can get the car into the garage. Ash tray cover, e-brake cable, some rust removal and undercoating underneath, grind out and patch a small piece on the hatch, new emblems, new tail light, new cowl and some painting. I'm hoping to get started in the next few weeks so she'll be ready to go when the nice weather is here. Short answer...I'm jealous!

Tell me about it. $20/week for my truck and the wife's so they don't rot off the frame. I love salt. There's a great one in E. Windsor on Rt 5 by Pasco's that will just about blow the paint off the car. Cleanest touchless I've come across, but I don't know if I'd bring a vert through. They have closed heated bays though.

I have not had mine out in about two months too. I start it once a week. But atleast it is getting no salt. Being on this website sure makes it hard not to take it around the block. I am forced to DD a 4-door 93 cavalier 4cyl. Things could be worse though. Let it take the salt abuse.
