leaves and temperature are falling, so some cars are coming inside for hibernation. 91 Spider Veloce, 02 525i sport package touring, 82 Alpina B6 2.3, and 95 XJS 6 cylinder 'vert. Winning already, more to come in. I have the best office job ever, plus I work on all these on the side. Might even have some room left for my french and italian steel to sneak in. Milano is taking winter duty once I suss the TRX snow tire situation out.

I know it's for their own protection, but hibernating cars make me sad :(

The Montego will be hiding all winter. But running, I don't winterize I start weekly and keep the battery tender going.

SERIOUSLY jealous of that work/storage space though. I see a heater in there too.

I am not that well equipped.

yeah my company bought the building and the garage was a nice bonus. Was used to maintain plow trucks once in a while. Tried to put a lift in but one of the owners put the kibosh down on that

Hahaha, can't blame a guy for trying though.

I was so spoiled, when I lived at home with my parents I went down the street to my dad's shop and did anything I needed. Lift, every tool I could imagine, and heated in the winter.

Man it was a rude awakening moving away all those years ago.

yup, I know it. I have a lift to stick in there too, was going to do the installation and everything. I think the insurance agent told him to get bent :)

you're more than welcome to put it in my garage. I mean, we wouldn't want a lift going to waste now would we?!?!

too bad the geography wouldnt support that. Cali and Maine are quite far away! I wanted it for my home garage but ceiling is only 13 ft

I'm in Michigan btw. Either one is closer than you think (whether ur in cali or in maine!).

Commute is much more feasible.

I'll get your clicker ready.

haha was it your Mercury that was from Cali then? I love everywhere in Michigan besides Detroit sprawl, which I love for different reasons!

Nope. The Mercury was originally a Jersey car (Ironically because I grew up in Jersey) and I have the dealership window sticker to prove it!

Aaaand I live in the Detroit Sprawl lol. Wayne, Michigan which proudly builds the Ford Focus ST at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant.

In your defense, metro-detroit is pretty much like every other suburban area that I've seen in the country, nothing special, though full of cool car history. The rest of this state is simply beautiful though.
