Winter Storage 1 down 2 to go

[ITL Cobra]

Finally had a chance to prep the SUV for storage this winter. Not too bad for a 2005. Hopefully next weekend I can get the cobra done, and then the STS.

No, its going in.. I know its seems weird, to put a AWD SUV away for the winter, but I have a Deville that I drive in the winter..

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Weird.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but wouldn't buying snow tires and wheels for a stock looking SUV be only marginally more expensive than storing it...

Odd but looks awfully clean.

We are car guys.
Nothing is odd.

You mean nothing is rational.

Says the guy that stored his Grand Prix for winters and had an A8 daily driver beater.

You would be correct, but really how many lowered 05 Lincoln Aviators Luxury Additions, are out there with only 40k and that look that good?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Looks like a standard boring SUV to me

Devils advocate here, but its basically an Eddie Bauer Explorer with a NA Cobra motor and a Lincoln badge... Don't find them that special, and they were uncommon for a reason.

Make no mistake, yours is a very clean example, but I just don't see it as a collectible or as a show car/truck.

 

[Mike K]

Wait, does it have the motorized running boards? If so I now completely understand.

 

[PANDA]

Dasfinc did you put any Rangers or Hondas into Winter storage?

I've never stored any car ever.... They are meant to be driven.

Its not a collectable or a show truck, I would just rather not mess it up, when I have other vehicles to drive, that I could care less about.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Couldn't

Honest curiosity: What do you opt to drive instead during winter?

Love you too.

I'd drive the Aviator over a Deville all day...

 

[Angus]

Let OP do what he wants with his cars.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Absolutely not. I insist he drives this awd SUV all year.

These fuckin guys, that truck looks minty, keep it that way. Those rims look great on it too btw.
