Alright, so who’s having withdrawal from their S-chassis already. My vert is covered up in a barn a few miles away, and it kills me that I can’t even work on the damn thing. Sucks even more that people want to buy it now, and I dont want to get rid of it. E-brake turns in my 03 Civic just isnt cutting it. I love Canada but southern Florida does sound nice right about now. Where is your car for the winter? Can you work on it? Are you winter driving it? ☹ ![http://i808.photobucket.com/albums/zz10/benmelenhorst/DSC03141.jpg](http://i808.photobucket.com/albums/zz10/benmelenhorst/DSC03141.jpg) ---

Mines on the road i gave up on saving it. These cars rust from the inside out so its a lost cause. too bad such a nice car built so badly. i even have a newer engine in the car with a FULLY rebuilt transmission and clutch that’s being broken in now. What a waste… looks nice though… ---

Stuck in my garage under a cover. I could be working on it, if I wasn’t 2 hours away at school. Winter build plans now equal summer build plans. :tdown: ---

I miss my car a lot. It’s stored at a friends garage just chillen. Waiting for new wheels and kit and few other goodies. I wish I could drive it right now. I can still work on it, but it’s way to cold to do anything right now. No heat, no good. =/ ![http://distilleryimage0.s3.amazonaws.com/5dde057212ed11e1abb01231381b65e3_7.jpg](http://distilleryimage0.s3.amazonaws.com/5dde057212ed11e1abb01231381b65e3_7.jpg) ---

buncha pussies 🙂 i decided a number of years ago that the money it takes to run a reasonable winter car is better spent maintaining an all-year car… my S14 in my case. ‘corrosion-free’ under coating (twice) and regular washes in the winter and it should be fine. the only rust i get after 3 winters was on the hood from stone chips… so i switched it to CF… graaavyy!!! only reason not to drive in the winter is if the car is way to modded to do so safely. My s13 was that way. as for working in the winter, i have swapped wheels and tires on my G35 twice in the last 2 weeks and done some mild work to my s14 as well. I do have a garage but there isn’t enough room for a car in there with all the other kids stuff, car parts bbq, tools etc. etc. so i’m half in / half out. That’s a lot better than dropping differentials out in a parking lot laying on an inch thick layer of ice and snow in the middle of the night like we used to do 5-6 years ago. ---

Will, the difference between your garage and johnny’s garage is that he doesn’t have any other stuff around the car except for car parts which is at the back of the garage, so its not so bad but still a tight squeeze. ---
