And it started on first crank, first time ever it has done that, usually the battery is dead....



I cried...


Thanks for listening to my emotional story.

haha Jono,

your not by any chance somebody I stopped like 2 years ago and asked if you wanted to sell your car and you told me it had 300,000 kms and you wanted 10 g's for it are you?

i only know 2 people with silver camaros in toronto

Jono

no it couldn't have been me since my car only has about 165k and I wouldn't be selling it anyways Plus I've paid including a few mods about 9k total for the car so I'd be ripping you off

I haven't started my car since the first week in November...about 3 months. I almost did the other night, but I held back...it will only make me want to drive it.

I say don't do it until you are ready to take it out for a rip.....with the winter we have been having there is no way that I could start it and not take it out for a rip

IROCKER

Yup...I don't expect turning her over till at least March.

Jono

Yeah I just started her up let her run for about 10 minutes, gave it a few nice revs after warmed up and shut her off.

George

When you do that maybe run it for longer than 10 minutes - like half an hour or so - at least long enough to dry the water out of the exhaust system.

SBlackfoot

Agreed. The previous owner of my car and my father keep telling me that I should go and fire it up once every few weeks. Listen..... no.

I actually took mine for a ride last week. There had been no snow for quite a while and the roads were perfectly clear.
It really feels different after not driving it for a while. I miss driving it everyday. Ok that's enough tears.

Ya I am certainly getting the itch to take mine out for a nice little rip.....especially since my beater is dead also! But I will resist the urge until atleast the end of March!

SBlackfoot

Good man. I don't even want to take the cover off until there's zero chance of snow. Around here that's what, mid-May? lol

I'm so torn between getting my seats re-upholstered in the spring (black leather) or putting that money towards a suspension lift for my Jimmy.

tanager11

I say get those seats done....although some of you might disagree, it makes a world of a difference if you have a nice interior. I just got my driver seat fixed up....had a couple of the pannels replaced and they were able to match the leather to a "t"...if you want the number for the place I can give it to you...just let me know.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards cleaning up the GTA first too. Might I ask where you got the work done and the rough price?

I'll have to take a close look at the floorpans in the spring too. If they're as rusted as I think they are I might look into getting them replaced.
