[QUOTE=Tuxblacray]  ... how did you make the decision to banish "The Toy" to a storage unit? ... [/QUOTE]
 
I first suggested to take 'The Beast' offsite for the winter since there really isn't any work that needs to be done on it.  But I was out-voted on that idea.
 
The storage place can get pretty dusty and the bodyguy recommended not putting a car cover on 'BIGBRRD' for awhile yet.  Plus it still has to go back to the bodyshop to have the hood redone (was kinda hoping he'd keep it there over the winter but he has a full slate of projects and needs the floor space).
 
So 'The Toy' drew the short straw.  It's no stranger to the place.  Kept it up there for several winters prior to building the garage addition.
