Yeah, I was out in the wet "drizzle" today, and was spinning tires like crazy. I need a posi...

I found out that I can spin them in 4 out of 5 gears if I goose it a little!! Zero traction, it was almost embarassing! (sp)

Staying in the garage as soon as the weather turns to sh*t.

I will definatly have mine out tomorrow! She will be back on the road for the first time in over a year! We did a whole dash swap and wiring harness swap cause my old underdash connectors didn't match up. So I should be out for a little bit tomorrow depends when I get her done. Hopefully I can go get these GTA's mounted up too before its too late! 88 What part of WI you in?

I was thinking of starting a Fox Cities Third Gen group or association. I do know of at least 2 people for sure who have third gens. Just want to see if there is interest or maybe even an existing group.

1. Carlover01 he posts in here frequently but his car always seems to be on blocks (as does mine)

2. The guy isn't a member that i know of but I could run it by him. He comes into my gas station now. I started talking to him about his car. He has an amazing gunmetal grey GTA.

feel free to chime in.

Thanks

i had mine out last weekend. As long as it doesn't snow, I have no problem driving it. I don't really store the car. I just don't drive when the weather is crappy. Which sometimes can be months on end.

Still have mine out. As long as the weather stays decent I'll drive it. Goes into storage when snow comes and all of the updates will continue.

Sadly I don't have a winter beater but I live in town and I'm going to put a lot of undercoating on and wax and fully wash here down atleast every other week. I'll probably get a beater next year.
