I miss driving my car
 
So much that i needed to make a thread about it.

please weather stop pmsing so i can take my cover off and work on my car in my rock driveway so i can drive it again.

My e39 does not bring as much excitement as my brz.

I'm with you! Waiting for the snow to stop and temps to climb so I can get my FR-S out of hibernation.

This^ Do I need to post my pics for the 500th time!
I know you guys want to keep them perfect but some simple winter maintenance migrates most of the problems that could come up. Mine takes more of a beating on the highway in the summer than it ever has in the winter.

Because I do not want the car to get rusty..lol. And my Lip kit is expensive and to much of a PITA to take off for the winter time because of 3m tape. Plus I have another car that is also terrible in the snow but i care significantly less about it because its older.

I've seen what the damn grime or salt or whatever they are using does to a small amount of surface rust that was barely noticable..

My gfs trunk had a very small surface rust spot and i said oh ill repair it after winter...Well the whole corner of the trunk is rotted after winter.. lol

Does she have a twin? I have left a bad chip on my front fender for two winters now as an experiment and it has just started to change colour.

Also my winter storage was strongly encouraged because I was like okay i guess im going to store it for winter let me fill the tank and add some stabilizer..so i do that then im like let me rip it one more time...1st....slam second BOOM. axle broke. pushed it home and parked since.

Lol

Nah, an E36. lol Im sure the surface rust was there for a while so that didnt help much

I miss driving my car too. I will never drive in through a NY winter. They salt the roads until there is more salt than snow. And it isn't weird to have over a foot of snow on the roads. I have driven a FC3S and a convertible 240sx in the winter and it really took a toll on them. Besides it is nice having winter to do things to your car with no time restraint.

I needed to use my AC last week, hot February...
