Last drive of year thread.......Sad but so (Pics)

I put my car away for the winter,Unfortunatly my motor is hurt and I couldnt do any massive tire melting burnouts,But had to take one last ride just for shyts and giggles........I pulled in to the driveway after making a parts run and the oil pressure was pegged at 4psi,Thats as low as the gauge goes ........New motor is all ready for the spring or a buddy with a heated garage this winter ..........

Yea...That's what I hate about this time of year. I just my car back the middle of October, and have only had it out a few times. Gave me enough time to shake out the new engine, and see what needs to be tweaked over the winter. I found an oil leak around the filter, and the trans gasket is leaking on one of the front corners, and the knuckle heads who did the alignment did not set it up too good. The front tires are still pointing out....Should be a productive winter.

If the weather's nice, just go! There is always a chance to drive during the winter, as long as it is dry and not too cold...
Your car will thank you, too.

We are lucky down this end of the earth as we are now moving into our summer months with lots of car stuff happening.

The experts are predicting a hotter and drier than usual summer.

Yeah it is sad here to in Southern Ontario. I had to take the car out one last time for the season. It is so cold you can see the exhaust.

Hope you have a great time at the invitational.
