Update on Ole Blue
It's been a while since I posted so i figured I give an update on Ole Blue. As you may recall I was relocated back to Philly and, after trying unsuccessfully to sell Ole Blue down in Texas, decided to take him with me.
I drove my car up a few weeks ago and after giving it some thought, decided to have Ole Blue brought up on a transport. (There's no way I want to do that drive again anytime soon...) So, as of 6pm last night, Ole Blue is officially a resident of Philly. It was good to get back behind the wheel, I missed him. |

Re: Update on Ole Blue
They were out in force last night spraying the bridges and intersections so I put the Smurf in the garage and don't plan on taking it out for a while (until all that cr@p gets washed off the roads). Maybe I should coat my truck with oil like the thread above suggests, luckily, my truck coats itself with oil on it's own

Re: Update on Ole Blue
Salt is such a winter driver killer.... I always wait until the first hard rain to wash it off the roadways.
Be sure to get a cover for that thing, and park it off the street if you can.

Re: Update on Ole Blue
if you have it parked on the street, nad they spray the salt water (brine) then your truck will end up rotting away even if it is parked and covered.
I highly recomend a storage unit. Probably 100 - 150 a month over there... but it needs to be inside. If they just use rock salt, then parking it is fine, although slashing the sale water on it can end up doing dammage. |

Right now, I'm in temp. housing in Roxborough. Once the house in Texas is sold we'll probably look to buy in Delco/Montco. Someplace close to the city though, I don't like any more than a 30 minute commute. Where you at? |
