Hi- I can feel with you....
I am in the same damn situation...Weather is gonna be colder and typical november weather...so I decided yesterday to clean the Shelby completely and prepared it for the winter season in the garage....No more Shelby driving for 5-6 months......Damn I'm gonna miss that baby......I am little bit jealous of all our TS Members and friends who can drive the whole year their Shelbys...

:salute:

Not much time left here in CT either, however I do plan to take her for a spin today at some point. Also, I'm taking it down to Summit Point, WV for a track day on 10/31 (praying for good weather)....then, that will probably be it until spring.... :( except that sometimes there is an occasional decent day when the roads are clean, etc....

On the other hand, it does keep the mileage down and it will allow me some time to do some things I haven't been able to get to, like attacking my rear axle rust....

Finally getting good here too. You can actually drive during the day without air conditioning on full blast. Car would come back so hot I would open the hood and roll a portable swamp cooler to the grill and turn in on for 2-3 hours to cool it off before I could close the hood.

the liquid is actually much better as there is no material to bounce and scatter on the undercarriage and in the wheel wells.

It was snowing Saturday morning at 6:00 am when I let the dog out, not hard enough or long enough to salt roads so hopefully I can get one more weekend of driving in.

There are no seasons here - just 'hotter than all hell' and 'not quite as hot'. It's a great place to live if driving is your thing. :shift:
