hiding them away for winter....what is that? Here in Norcal it was sunny and around 80 degrees out. Just had to rub it in

What is that curious white stuff all around your truck?
It must be some sort of rust preventative...

How much did you guys end up getting Eric?

Shaky · 11-15-2010, 07:21 AM

It's good to see that you have your priorities straight: old vehicles go in the garage, new vehicles stay outside.

Here in Texas it's so hot in the summer that I usually don't drive it much (no AC).

I start driving when the weather gets into the 80's which is about latter part of Oct or first of Nov.

72BlckButy · 11-15-2010, 08:36 AM

Oh no... not ready for the white stuff.

68Stepbed · 11-15-2010, 09:10 AM

Southern trucks don't know what hibernation is.

eightbanger · 11-15-2010, 02:48 PM

Jingle Bells!! my wife and kids would love that...all right then, so would I

I have 5 garage slots and my 08 Dodge Cummins sits outside in the snow. It always makes me sad to have to put the old trucks and motorcycle away for the winter, which where I live, lasts from October or November to mid April. The only upside is that you have time to work on them. We had a few very nice days last Thursday - Saturday. I drove the Burb every day as I was beginning to start to suffer from separation anxiety.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-15-2010, 09:29 PM

A friend of mine lives in NW Iowa, and he told me they got 14"s?

I'm not ready for that yet!

68Stepbed · 11-16-2010, 09:34 AM

It's supposed to be 62 and clear skies this weekend here. I don't envy you northern guys at all.

68Stepbed · 11-17-2010, 09:40 AM

Brrrrr!!

dan42 · 11-17-2010, 10:43 AM

You may have that cold weather, but it sure is pretty back there in the summer, and you have the beautiful evenings all summer to look forward to. It's pretty much fog for us all summer, and in the winter, occasional rain, but very similar in temps all year. Stay warm and it'll be spring before you know it.

**too much stuff** · 11-19-2010, 07:49 PM

dan42, it does get very cold here. Down to 6 tonight i hear. Still wouldn't trade, but an occasional get away to somplace warm never hurts!!
