Blackstone report

I received the report from Blackstone. I will try and enclose.
Needless to say I'm happy.

What will you be doing before you store it? Change your oil or not? I stored mine and I didn't change it will do it in spring when it comes out. By the way that's a great report.

Funny thing about the winter, usually Temps don't lend themselves to spraying things down. Unless you want to coat your car in ice that is.

One time I had the car out on Christmas. No snow, and I thought it would stay that way...it snowed as we were celebrating and I had to drive a half mile to my in laws with summer tires. Scariest experience of my life.

This thread is just wacky.

Why not just encase the car in carbonite and never drive it? If you're really that worried, just start it every couple of weeks.

It's just a car folks...some on here would have you believe that it's a super special delicate little flower.

Thank you Blackstone for making my point exactly.
