Well there talking snow next week:bs:, so I cleaned and waxed her one more time. Ran stable in the fuel system and pulled the battery. Parked her and put the cover on. Now the long wait for the for the snow to go away:alone:.

Yupper...same thing thing this way.

She is sitting in an unclimate-controled enclosure.
Covered, Visquine down below, parked on plywood, trickle charger plugged in, stabil added, and moth balls spread theoughout the perimeter.

Snows are on the Focus and the rink is in progress....bring the winter booya!

Took the Marauder out for one last drive today.

Between her being polished, detailed inside and out, and clean from last weekend's carshow and the impending lousy weather; it's time to put her to bed.

Come on, spring! :burnout:

I'm waiting on the weather. As long as it looks decent I'll keep the car out.

I had the car cleaned from end to end today and filled the gas tank. One day this week I'll hookup the battery charger and put the cover on it. I hate living in the north!!! :(

...but it is potentially an awesome season!
See my 'project thread'.

I could potentially get burned out if I did 'Marauder' 12 months of a year.
It's a nice respite.

Up until recent I drove mine EVERYDAY.

Winter never bothers me,car sits up a whole inch higher, toss 150-200 lbs in the back and I get through snow very well.

California - My Marauder is not driven in the rain.
Keeps the mileage low and I appreciate the Marauder more when I drive it.
