$50 a month and if you pay for the whole year you get a month free. I could easily park another small car in there.

$50 a month????? Dang....I'd do the lifetime membership and turn that into a shop! Get your compressor in there and run some lines.....looks like you could turn around in that thing. That would be $200 where I live.

Re: So where's your truck been parked all winter????

Snow doesn't hurt them one bit. But salt does.
With that in mind, I gas up both tanks before the first salt application, attach my plow, and only use it in my drivway plowing or out on the lake to/from the fish house.

At night it does have a spot in the shed. Which is nice because I can leave my fishing gear in the back and not have to find it under any snow the next time out.

I do love this time of year. I dropped the plow for the last time Tuesday. This weekend I'll remove the frame and under hood hydro pump. Then take it for its first 2wd scream of the year. The truck has been in 4 hi since mid November.

In the garden under a cover and under some snow as we had the coldest winter for 30 years. Hell, they've even forecast snow for middle of next week!

In the two car garage along with my wife's TB; my DD sat outside, but it was well worth all the scraping.

Re: So where's your truck been parked all winter????

No garage that it will fit in so it sits out and it did get driven more this winter than I wanted to drive it. The deicer fluid that they spray on the roads here is death on the chrome on the hubcaps and doesn't do the aluminum wheels much good either.

I had to let my daughter drive my beater Caddy for a few days this winter because her HHR's tires didn't like the snow and slick roads that we had for about a week. That caused me to drive the 71 when i didn't really want to. It does get to stay home more now that I have a real daily driver as the dd gets double the gas mileage that the truck does.

Re: So where's your truck been parked all winter????

Mine sits in my 2 car garage... but I have driven it quite a bit lately... If the windshield didn't leak like a seive... I'd drive it more often in the rain...

Hey Butternut.....just throwing this out there. Have you checked out the Team Camaro forum? Those guys are bad-to-the-bone when it comes to Camaros.

68 RS huh? What she got for a power plant?
