    After a long winters nap the car comes home today.:yahoo:
    Hes moving around some boats to get the cars out. Seems most of the guys want the cars out early this year so his organizing of vehicles according to pick up date is shot. Hes a good guy though doing the extra leg work to keep his customers happy.
    Just have to put the battery in and I'll be good to go. Hopefully.:)

    25 degrees today and 24 tomorrow.:thumbs2:

    What a great day. Picked up the car at 9 am. Got home and made breakfast on the BBQ. Eggs,bacon and toast. Went to the farm with the family for a few hours, cleaned the horse, had a beer then home to clean up the car. Prime Rib Burgers on the BBQ for dinner. Going to give the little one a bath(daughter not car) then sit down with a cold drink and relax. Then on goes the headset to play Battlefield on Xbox tonight with my buddies from work(the big kids as my wife calls them). Beauty day.:thumbs2: Oh and it was 26 degrees today.:) About 79 ferenheit for you US citizens and old farts.

    As for the car....
    No issues with storage. Full tank of fresh fuel and stabilizer does the trick for the winter. Threw the cover in the truck, put in the battery, 5 or 6 pumps on the throttle and she fired right up. Ran great. Moved her outside and did a general check over. Tires, fluids etc. She ran perfect for the 40 minute drive home just like I parked her yesterday. Gave her a nice going over with the detail spray,cleaned the windows, rims and tires. Everything is now good in the world!!! She sleeps till tomorrow when I terrorize the mother in laws neighborhood for Easter dinner. (y)

    Wish I could terrorize my neighbors for Easter.... Guess I'll have to stick with my motorcycle (this year). ;)

    Have fun!
