I call her my midlife crisis, im sure shell be my one and only Vette. These cars are such classics. What can i do thru the winter to ensure shell be good come spring?

Sharon, earlylife, midlife, or latelife it's all about enjoying life. What better way to enjoy it then in a beautiful Vette. We are a select group.........in my eyes. Other people don't just understand our passion.
Now as far as storage.............................it's a bit of a drive but head to ebo's place in NY. He'll watch over your baby like a mother henWink. Another suggestion if the ebo thing don't do it for you is:..........................a car bag!

Car Bag/jacket protects your car or motorcycle while it is in storage, blocking rust, dust, insects, mold and prying eyes. Our customers never cease to be amazed when their investments emerge from a jacket looking exactly how they entered. http://www.carbag.com/products/products.html

To quote the great Charlie Daniels

From the sound up in Long Island out to San
Francisco Bay, and ev'ry thing that's in between
them is our home. And we may have done a little
bit of fighting amongst ourselves, but you outside
people best leave us alone. Cause we'll all stick
together and you can take that to the bank.
That's the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels
and the yanks. You just go and lay your head on a
Pittsburgh Steeler fan and I think you're gonna
finally understand.

Thanks for the link, ill check it out. Yeah, NY a bit of a treck, plus i wouldnt be able to peek on her. A friend sent me an article with suggestions about scattering moth balls around the engine, putting fabric around the tail pipes to keep crittets out, and put those packets ( like they put in shoe boxes) in rhe compartment to keep down mildew. Car bag sounds alot easier. Seems to me like you and the Rook need to call a truce! Hey Rook, trust me stripe runs front to back:)

You can cut up Irish Spring bars and place in various places..........the critters don't like the smell. Or Bounce fabric softener sheets. Yes if you store in the bag desiccant bags absorb the moisture. The good thing about the bag it seals under and all over. Disconnect the battery or remove it. I've even convinced ebo to go with the bag. There are different theories about a full tank of gas (reduces condensation) or part tank because in the spring you can add a half tank of fresh fuel to mix with the old stuff. Add fuel stabilizer and run the engine a bit to circulate it thru the fuel lines and carburator. There are many different opinions on this winter storage issue.

Vette(s): #1 *1980 White, Red interior 14,000 mile #2 *1980 Red, Oyster interior 93,000 miles Resto project car, rebuilt to 383 stroker
Sharon, Larry did talk me into bagging the car and I have it at home still in the box. May put it up this weekend not sure. I'm hoping for one last indian summer ride.
Please excuse Larry some times his meds work, some times not so much. Please note it is a full moon. If you have ever been around a mental hospital you would under stand that 2 day's prior and 2 days after a full moon some people even with the best medication still become imbalanced...............
