How many of us are "taking a break?"

[classicchev]

Since winter up here is about 8 months long, I have no choice to work on my crap... really its not that bad, I enjoy my shop, heat and all.. Going to pick up the project for this winter today, 57 Belaire that will be getting full pro touring suspension from Scotts, LS9 to push it around, and a few of the other creature comforts that a 56 year old car needs...

Unfortunately my Blazer will have to wait a little bit..

Enjoy the winter!!!! Little snow flying here today.

As far as driving in the winter,yeah,my trucks get a break to keep away from salt. But,I live on a country road that seems to be about the last one in the county to get plowed,then salted (the road is the county line). So,I've been known to go play in the fresh snow. When the road has been drifted over,I have gone out and busted through so others could get out. It's my duty as an American citizen,right?

Nothing like a little winter fun for us K20 guys! I especially like the pic with the road signs.

I take a break only because it's hunting season, I just don't have the money to do both!

Special K....BRRRR!!!!!! I like the second pic the best. Great trucks!

[Boog]

Tim. That 5th and 6th pic. Ooooh man! That's deep.

I have to start before I can take a break, and I would really like to get started

[DGulliver]

Here in southern TN I can't really use "winter" as an excuse for not getting anything done! We'll see if I can actually accomplish anything on mine. I have a few car projects going right now.

In my opinion it's never a break its a slow down. You buy what you need and do small tinkering projects

I would be building away at mine but gotta put priorities first sure I'll get some new P225 and 235 75 r15's for my C/10 but a new dd is more important to me right now than getting my C/10 done

[Haggis]

I'll probably spend more time working on it now. Snow means less driving it, so now when I will be doing things like my suspension work, anything that will take it off the road for a bit. Not that I have any huge plans but I have some stuff to do.

Is anyone in the same boat?

Does running out of money to finish up right now due to loss of job count as a break? I will get back to her but some things come first. :-)

I'm always on and off again. My cars and trucks are just hobby stuff and a lot of times I just don't feel like messing with them. Might actually get to the panel some this winter. My unibody is almost back on the road and my nephews are asking if they can help with the panel too.

As for sicklajoie going to 85 shows ... holly cow!!!! Ive barely gone to any shows in the last several years. The only car related thing I try to make every year is Speed Week at the salt flats.

No winters in this part of the country. A little electric heater is nice for when it gets below 45, but thats not very often except at night. Im going to build a 6 foot extension onto my 20x24 garage this year for a little extra space. Its a lot nicer in the winter, as its usually over 100 in there most of the summer. I'd much rather have cool than hot.
