Well, at least you got some quality time with the Shelby. I have to say that I don't know if I would be able to handle not driving it all fall and winter here. I'm going to drive mine through the winter. The snowfall here hasn't been too bad in recent years. Just a storm here and there. I'll just leave the Shelby at home on those days. But I plan on driving it when it's just cold out. Probably no "joy" driving through the winter..just the trips to work and to the store. So I'm guessing that you won't be able to break your car out of storage til March then? If I had to leave my car in the garage that long...I think I would move my bed, TV, computer, etc. into the garage next to it! LOL! Yes...I LOVE my Shelby...

That's unbelievable. It rained the good part of the day here too. Went up to about 80 degrees today, but it's only down to about 75 now...the humidity is just off the scale... Better than a snowstorm though..or even worse sometimes are those icestorms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaska Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Good to hear from you Blue. Yes I got in a few weeks of driving and it was awesome there are only two 10's in the state and mine Grabber Blue is one of them the other is Kona. Every where I went people pointed what I thought was the greatest was a 5 year old boy riding his bike with his family stopped and pointed at the car as we drove by. Yes it is in our blood. Well we leave for Maui this Thursday for 10 days we have a direct flight. We will be riding snow machines by the end of October just north of us averages 10 plus feet by December and I will post pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalkid Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 While I dont have to put my car away yet, I feel your pain. I usually have to put mine away in mid/late November. This will be the third winter I have stored the car and let me tell you it is torture! By the time mid March early April rolls around I am about to lose my mind! Its a great time to stock pile parts and do work on the car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 i find that when it gets cold, the high HP cars do better.I think the air is denser,ie more O2.So if it not raining/snowing,and the streets are dry, let er rip,it'll be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SicShelby Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Welll, I guess bad weather is one way to keep a low mileage Shelby, huh?? Last year I broke mine out in the cold weather. It was fun, but yes, it definitely handles different on cold tires so BE CAREFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
