    Last chance

    Quit work early, washed the car, and took the wife to Jerry's Curb Service for a gourmet meal. Then opened her up one last time until spring. Couldn't resist 70 degrees and sunny on Nov. 18th. I'm thinking there will be road salt everywhere soon. Going to be a long winter.

    Cleaned up the '14 today and stashed her for the winter at Dad's place. Always a sad day. May is a long way off.

    Took the family downtown in the pumpkin today for Light-up Night. Wow was it packed. But definitely a nice night. Tomorrow it will seem like it was a dream.

    This is the winter I get my car projects done. Yes I have said that before but this time I mean it. Yes I have meant it before but...

    Got the Mustang wheels and winter tires mounted on the Wife's edge Sport. Doesn't look too bad. Still gotta spray the Plastidip bra on it. My Mach 1 has been under the cover for a week or so now already. Gonna swap my f150 wheels/tires tomorrow I think. Had the lower cab corners and rear fender lips sprayed with bedliner yesterday so the damn shale PA puts on the road won't chip the paint off and the salt rot it. I hate winter. 20161118_093850.jpg

    Dang - that's not fair - 72 hours ago you could have taken a 150 mile shakedown cruise!

    Still - congrats!

    Yeah timing was rough. I had a business trip this weekend. Started in the 70's and ended snowing in the 30's. I had planned on taking the Mach but the forecast changed and we took my buddy's truck.

    Had mine out last week, hit something in the middle of the road on parkway and bent a rim , pulled insurance on it today. Hoping to get some time in the next few weeks to pull the front suspension apart for some goodies.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
