I have awakened a sleeping giant....

Well not yet and not really a giant, this Sunday I'm taking the Dart out of winter storage. I technically should wait for another month but my storage insurance expires in a week anyways. I just hope the weather will cooperate.  :-\

If it wasn't for mud season here in NH I would have the Charger out already. As it is I am hoping to get it out in 2 weeks, a full month before normal.  :2thumbs:

Good luck.

Good luck with the weather.  I have had the cars out several times this year already, here in Illinois.

There is talk of 1-3cm of snow scheduled for this week but with the day time sun and temperatures it won't be sticking. Just need to be careful with my summer tires  :icon_smile_big:

So I went and pushed the dart out of the shed because I figured it would need a jump. Didn't need a jump but it took three tries and it fired up as if it never slept.

20 minutes later I was on the side of the road pulled over by RCMP. "Accidentally" stomped it off the stop sign and those tires squealed through the intersection. What I didn't see was the cop car behind me. I told him I had just taken the car out of winter storage and wasn't used to driving it after driving a Ford Taurus beater all winter. Got let go with a warning....  :smilielol:

I woke mine up yesterday too  ;) It wouldn't start for the longest time which I thought was really strange. I realized after a few minutes my own anti-theft device got me....I took the coil wire off back in December when I parked it....woops! :slap: Put it on and it fired up right away.... :2thumbs:

I've done that coil wire anti theft thing as well and made that same mistake a couple times  :slap:

I got my 73 out a week ago, filled it up with gas and took it down the road for about 15 minutes and let it stretch a bit.  :D
