    Nope. I haven't drove anything but the semi, and didn't do that until yesterday. I need to get the pickup out of the carport before the battery goes dead, can't even remember when I drove it last.
    Gotta wait and see if I get any tax money back this year, that will tell me if the Lincoln might get drove this year or not....

    No I haven’t, our streets are too shitty, too much ice on them to take out the rag top.

    I've driven the '40 three days out of three days so far this year, a little over a 100 miles total. My oldest grandson flew in from Germany last night and we went to the local car guy hang out tonight. Good times!
     
  4. Drove mine Christmas day and then put it up on stands for the winter......got a few things to take care of this winter.

    No, it is currently 10:30 PM, and -12*F with 8 inches of snow on the ground, but the car is warm and dry inside next to the Harley.

    No but sure itching too. Pulled it apart in the fall, going back together now. Won't be long.

    Cold, snow, ice and harsh deicing chemicals prevent me from driving a vehicle I actually care about during winter months. Most years that means 5+ months with my cars tucked away in the garage...

    Why do I live here?

  10. Sadly no. But it is winter. The coupe is getting her winter upgrades, fixes and maintenance. Time to do some work.;):)

    Pulled the 64 Marauder out new years day so I could do some stuff on the wife's daily . Hearing that bid FE rumbling sure made me want to. But she is a super clean South Carolina car and has never seen salt. No sense showing her the stuff now!! Larry
     
  12. That car sure looks good. HRP

    No pictures but I ran errands today in my 40. Rained every day this year until today. I drove Lil Red 227 days in 2019, probably won"t equal that in 2020. Later Bill

    Can't help but think how companies that insure all these low miles driven annually cars are
    really making easy money.

    Unseasonally warm and dry here recently and it's been a while since the roads were salted, so yeah I've been out and about over the last few days in the 41 Chevy Coupe. Curiously however it's been parked up for some months but getting it out reminded me there is a bog off idle to be investigated. Suspect accelerator pump not working as its should (Edelbrock).

    The annual tradition of one of the local car clubs is a New Year's day mobile cruise and garage tour. :)

    Yeah HRP. I don't know how you "fair weather" folks do it. I NEED the Winter to fix everything I broke, scraped, bent, melted, twisted and generally F'ed up over the Summer.:eek:

    Although, I do get a break this year. Get to finish up the '36 Ford Cabriolet I got from Hamtown Al:D

    But rest assured, I'll NEED next Winter to fix everything I broke, scraped, bent.....:p

    I lucked out last week. We had 2 ice storms They threw salt everywhere but then it rained like hell for two days and then dried up. So I jumped in the Avantay and went for a quick spin to the deli to pleasure the women. It felt so good.I hate winter
