It's been an annoyingly cold and rainy Fall here, so last weekend I finally broke down and gave 7074 a good cleaning, one last oil change of the season, and swapped the sticky Avon tires for the old, hard 17" Sumitomo tires and winched it up into my trailer. After covering the car and placing a few "Fresh Cab" satchels around the inside of the trailer, I closed things up and tucked the trailer into a corner of my shop until next Spring. The sky sure reflected my demeanor that day..... Sigh........

Summer Up North & Winter Down Here In The Deep South!
We even have a nice house we can sell you that is only 30 minutes to NOLA and 30 minutes to Bay St. Louis Mississippi!

Yeah, used to hate that time of year when we lived in Ohio! That's why (one of the reasons) we now live in Tucson!

After packing it up, expect an odd heat wave for the next 3 weeks!

Bummer. Here in Florida our real driving season is getting started. The summer is like a microwave.

I feel your pain. Crappy Fall weather here too!
Although not in such a nice 'garage', I tucked mine away last week. Managed to get the Sniper/dual sync system installed and test driven. Spring can't come soon enough!

I just got back from "lunch" (an hour long cruise) in mine :)
It is a bummer, Chris. But I'm glad to see that you've decided to hold onto the car. :)
Time to drive the other Shelby. Spread the love.

Chris,
A bit off the bummer topic of winter storage...... What is that color on your Roadster? It is absolutely stunning.
