Default Black Rain Stored!

So black rain has been stored for the winter officially, still gotta go add the stabilizer to the fuel but shes been cleaned for the most part rugs put under the wheels and the battery removed. I added some of the last photos of her before she returns in mat in my album but thought I'd throw in one photo lol anyway I might suprise with some pics of her in her winter slumber in the shed but probably not many because you cant really do much for pics while its stored lol.

They were salting the roads here in NW Iowa this weekend because of freezing rain. I was not happy to see that because I can already see the signs of the salt eating away at my car.

Glad you got it in shelter! I wish I had a second car so I could keep my monte away from these terrible winters

I would miss my monte in the winter too but I love it too much to keep seeing it get covered in salt.

Hate the idea of winter storage.

We have a granddaughter in Iowa and they've already had bad weather. St. Louis is bad enough but we can usually get our 'nice' cars out once in a while during the winter. Oh wait, my MC is my driver or is it?

I see you're just using a storage unit right? I've been thinking about that for my horizon, just wonderin how much does one run you a month, and how big is it?
