Oh god, its been..... like 3 months or longer since I have got to drive the MM. :(

I have started it a few times an moved it into the street for 10 mins to clear the driveway under it.

I miss the sound, the feel, and the go pedal.

I almost debaded about getting it out tomorrow and going down the Des Moines to harbor frieght to pick up a few cheap tools, but I think its going to be like 10 degrees and a chance of snow, not to mention the roads are covered in salty goodness.

winter sucks!

I treat mine as it is, a third car. If it isn't snowing too bad i'm in it, but almost always just a couple miles or so to the store. The longest spell i've gone without driving her was two weeks and it killed me! Another problem i have is making a payment on something that i'm not using, just doesn't make sense when i'm making so little anymore. I just make sure to get the thing washed regularly espescially the undercarriage.

I agree. I start her once a week but have she has not been out in a couple of months. It's just to nasty around here.


I cannot wait until the Kentucky meet in March. Weather-permitting she'll be back on the streets then.

It'll be tuned, detailed, and ready.

It just depends on how Mother Nature is feeling those three days. :rolleyes:

Or maybe even South Carolina? ;)

The Bluesmobile gets driven daily, and I love every minute of it!

Yeah! Some days I wished I lived in Fl.I do live in Florida, and I just can't imagine storing my MM away for the winter. We do have to protect our cars during the summer storms (hurricanes), so, maybe it's kind of fair. On the bright side, we probably put more miles on our cars than you do.

I like living in the 4 seasons:) I will trade off not driving in the winter as I enjoy the F-150 at times. Got a brother in Tampa so I can visit the Sunshine State:)

Got either a big rain or snow storm heading this way Tueday.......Hope it's snow....

Yea, I've been cogitating on moving south when I retire. Then I see the stories about hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires, droughts, ect... We may get a lot of snow and cold, but only the idiots die from it.
