All ready to roll again in 6 months - looking forward to the spring of 2011

Today was put away day of the Vette. :ugh

Dont know what the dealer shop rate is for changing the serpentine and air conditioning belt is but I must of saved big doing it myself. That little belt is one pain the ass to change.

Fresh belts, oil, air filter, pcv and she will be ready to go in 6 months.

What a season we had. Calculated the mileage and was surprised we only did 6,100 kilometres. Not a single issue other than I noticed the rear tires seem to have less rubber than the front. I will have to mention that to the wife.

I bet she will blame that rubber loss on the new Corsa pace car exhaust.

Are we in the C5 section? yes! good.

Brent - I'd say it's your right foot, but you can partially blame me for the exhaust mod!

It's really tough to store a car for the next six months .Actually I use to get down right depressed .I was fortunate that I had a heated garage that I could spend some quality time bonding .

I did this a week ago. I washed and waxed her and filled the tank after I put in a bottle of stabil and I have the 'BatteryMinder for Optima batteries, so she's in good shape under her soft cover and we'lll wait till March to see if it OK , No snow, salt or cinders covering the roads to ruin her paint. No winters for this beauty.
