Figured I'd say hello before rumors of my death started to spread like the space between my MM and chumps trying to keep up.
Well I stored the MM for the winter again BUT not like last year and now I have bad news to report. I'l start off by saying that I'm married to an lovely Ecuadorian that has no idea why someone would store a car during the winter. I do not have a garage at my house and so last year I stored it for $600 bucks and bought a winter vehicle/house truck for $1500, and my wife was not happy about it but she said little about it until I started shopping storage prices again last fall and thats when we had our sit down talk:argue: and we decided to find a better solution to what is going to be a yearly problem for us. I took a trip with a friend to Fleet Farm and picked up one of those 10X20 canopys with questionable metal poles and put it up in the backyard. Wouldn't ya know the first heavy snow we got I was stuck working and by the time I got home at about 3am the shelter was on top of my MM:( . I got it pulled of a couple of days later and It does has damage on the hood, fender and the top of the car. I'm bummed but not heart broken because it's only cosmetic. I took 2 years of autobody in High school 20 years ago and hope I can remember enough to fix it. I'm not mad at my wife about it because its her money too, I do feel kinda dumb thinking that store bought garage was gonna protect my baby though. I hope all of you guys and gals have been well and I look forward to seeing you all this summer.
