Since I bought the Shelby in July, I have 3200 kms on her! I'm less picky over dirt, dust, and driving in the rain simply due to the colour! Vapor silver is a great hiding colour much better than RedFire.
I don't want think of placing it in storage, that will be a sad day. However, full coverage insurance expires Nov 1when fire and theft takes over so it's approaching fast Over the winter down time I will start a few planned mods

Mine will be out until the morning that I wake up and see snow on the ground! The joy of having a beater insured at the same time lol.
I think I've only put about 4000kms on it this year. No major highway trips, really just cruising around town.

Next year on the other hand.....it'll get some miles!

I'm hoping to get another month yet, but hey I'm on the prairies, so it could be 25 degrees one day, and snow the next, so we'll see. Anyway if I get another month, I should have around 3000 km's put on this season. And I will be using Stabil. Anybody using anything different for storing over the winter?

Nice Paul! Maybe next year a few more k's LOL!



I drive mine time permitting. Having a family of five, and a wife that works evenings,and some nights, the daddy roll takes priority. When we only had our oldest, it was easier. The first two years i put 12,000 to 13,000 kilometers each summer. The next few summers was close to 10,000. Then after that things got a tad buisier, and the GT was driven less, and less.

*Grin* at Snakebite.
I'll drive Baby 'till her insurance runs out. Then, she'll go back into her "Stang Cave" (sob)
But, I've found that she's just too low and wide and too wide-tired to handle our winter roads. (Or, maybe she has a crush on the tow-truck. ) Or, she likes to play in the ditch in the winter. I dunno.
that'll give me 'til halfway through October.
Drive safe, everyone.
Abby
