Effin, up on RT30 where the Log City Rd starts at now, that new storage joint those can fit a car, call them for a price. and the fix for steep driveways are 2 presure treated 2X12’s as long as your not putting them up a fucking wall of a drive way they will make good ramps to drive on. I used to have a few little pieces of them in the bed of my truck for getting be into and out fo places ---

I used to have a few little pieces of them in the bed of my truck for getting be into and out fo places Thanks for the info about garage. 🙂 If I can find a garage, I shouldn’t need anything to fix my driveway, but my landlord said he’ll look into it. The grade is a beast, it’s like they just rounded the curb some, slapped some concrete over it and called it done. It’s a beast to take in my truck. lol ---

Yeah, that’s pretty much common sense, I just wasn’t sure if the majority of people on here who have summer cars had a general date they waited until or what. _shrugs_ ---

I drove the 911 several times in February and March last year… I just felt like it, and there was no snow on the ground, and washed it every time I did to make sure no salt was on/under it. ---

I \<3 this car. lol It’s DEFINITELY an obsession, I tried to buy the car away from my mom’s boyfriend almost daily for about 3 years. I can see driving it in the winter when it hasn’t snowed in a while… but covering it and uncovering it is a pain in the ass for me to do by myself, so instead of asking someone to help me do that 10 times over the winter, I put her away. ☹ Besides, it’s got no heat and it’s a rag top… can you say COLD?! lol ---

It’s got a few scuff marks on it, but at most there’s one “scratch” on it that won’t buff completely out. ---
