Boidster Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 A couple of weeks ago I could have shipped some winter down to you so you could enjoy it. It's all gone now, though. We didn't get much this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT350conv Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Had it out today with the top down and another 120 miles on the clock. It was 67 degrees in CT today with the sun out and clean roads. I had to run the fuel down below 1/2 tank and then drove it to the CT Convention Center for the Frank Marratta Auto Show this weekend. Now there's an empty spot in my garage, I'm use to it being there all the while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmungiel Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Drive and enjoy the car. Don't be a bear and hibernate! Honestly, the winter was not bad at all. No major snow storms and little salting and I live in the same part of the state as you. I had my Shelby stored at a buddy's house, but drove my Vette through the winter. Drive the car.....no one will give you more money because you have a few hundred or thousand miles less. All the best Billy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time since Thanksgiving. Next month I put the Insurance back on the the GT500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3ponies Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Never put the Roush in storage this winter in Chicago, used it when the weather was good. The 08 GT500 Vert rolled out ofthe garage last week and the top went right doiwn ! The GT500 is at the dealer for some new stuff! Hope to spinning it around for my 60th Celebration on Tuesday!

richstang Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I don't know how you guys in Northeastern NJ can enjoy a performance car. Having lived in all four corners of the state, the roads up there are completely horrendous. They might as well be cobblestone streets since there are so many potholes. I'm so glad to have moved south with less traffic, smoother roads, and some nice open areas of farmland to really open them up once in a while. I hope you winter storers are using stabil to protect the fuel pumps, lines, etc. I keep my car fully insured all year long and when the weather is nice (no salt or wet roads) I'm out there cruising the backroads.

I'm originally from Essex county and I know what you mean. I used to take out only 6 month policies on my motorcycle for that reason. If I had a GT500 back then I would have done the same thing. I can't get traction on dry roads..never mind snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmungiel Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Don't know what you uys are talking about. I live in Long Valley - very scenic part of the state with alot of nice country roads. Lots of nice good roads in Chester, Long Valley, Califon, Mendham area. Essex County and Bergen County are a different story. Sure there are some potholes, but you can avoid them. You are in South Jersey,.....thats not exactly the South. If you are taking insurance off of the car, you might want to consider a hobby you can better afford.
