Start Me Up!!!!!
I don't mean the "LawnBoy" either. After winter storage one tends to forget the sound [in some peoples books the noise,] smell and feel of a real set of older wheels. This exerience is far removed in a newer vehicle. I'm going out tomorrow and buying a pine air freshener. Well I just thought I'd share this experience with you all.
Take care & ..... Happy start ups, esll.

Re: Start Me Up!!!!!
Hey I know what you mean. I parked mine about Thanksgiving and I miss the rumble of it. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get it painted and done and ready to roll.

Re: Start Me Up!!!!!
Hope yours goes better than mine. Started the old girl up and after it warmed up I turn on the heater fan and 10 lbs of mouse nest blew out at me.
 Still can't get the stink out of the cab.

Re: Start Me Up!!!!!
Iīm starting to get nervous. In 2 weeks I will be getting mine inspected and hopefully registered.
My appointment is on the 1st of April. Yes, I will be waiting for an April Fools joke from the inspector. Canīt wait to get her back on the road.
