While you're at it, might as well wish it to last for a year

Yeah, I am hoping I can will it into existance, but I know this is going to last a day or two and then who knows lol. The trees are already turning and one big maple tree in the yard is already turned color and is dropping leaves like a mofo.

bouncing back sounds good. there was a time when i was 26-27 when everything just kept going in the wrong direction for me too... a losing streak for almost like 6-8months.

not sure wat the deal was..

Yea. I keep forgetting to ask. I've never stored a car for the winter. Any prep need to be done? Figured i'd just add a full tank of gas and cover it in storage. Do a full detailing and call it a season.

the minimum you want to do is full tank of gas and over inflate the tires to 45psi if at 50F or so. my garage is unheated and will dip to 10-15F in the coldest of days. that means psi will drop 3-4lbs.

i place my cars on flatstoppers and put stabil in the last tank, but this is not necessary. i also put covers on them.. oh yah, also DCon. dont need mice eating my rides..
