Default 4 seasons, who needs 'em???!!!

Last wash of the year, now she's under cover. I'm moving to Ft. Dix, NJ so no driving until what, late March? I want to live somewhere that has summer year round, a couple of race tracks near by, and lot's of young women; is that too much to ask for?

Yep, it's BS alright.

On the flip side, I suspend (daily driving status) of my insurance until April, so I save $600 a year, rather than full insurance all year long. Still fully covered from theft and what not while it snoozes all winter.

I'll keep full coverage until after it gets shipped to NJ, then we'll see if USAA will reduce it.

I hated having to store a car for the winter when I lived in MI so I moved south and got the Vette cuz I can drive year round! The cold I can handle but winter sucks when snow is involved.

How much longer before you can retire and where do you plan on settling down?

I hate cold, and snow. I could go the rest of my life, never see another flake, and be perfectly content.

I don't use polish, I polish them with the NTX wax, so when you wipe off the black residue they are waxed and easy to keep clean.

I put my snow shovel on the top of my car and drove until someone asked me what is was. I moved in that day.
