I try to keep them clean, but with them sitting under a tree most of the day, that doesn't happen. I also don't get to take an enjoyable cruise out to the middle of nowhere anymore either, usually due to all the stuff I do at home.
For example, this past Saturday, I had planned on taking the G8 out in the country for a nice drive, but, the washing machine decided to take a dump Saturday morning. So, that was my weekend!
One of these days though, I'll get to relive that feeling!
Hence why it's only been out 4x this year and when I do get to take it out, I have a trail of destruction behind me from my blitzkrieg of "enjoyment" that would end up with me in a slammer...

N/A with Heads and cam, breathing through long tubes, no cats, through Magnaflow's make up for it. Especially with an M6 which allows you to make all the noises you want...

Aside from maintenance they won't get much for a while. Moving next year and saving for that plus another beater, not to mention the uncertainty of a job for me making it impossible. Aka I'm not sure what job I want or how to get it. Lol

That's the beauty of living where I do (farm, at least). We live on a paved road, and have miles of open asphalt in just about any direction, not to mention some of the prettiest driving scenery (MN River Valley) for hundreds of miles. Along with a nice, curvy, lightly patrolled road running along the bluff.
Bye Bye: RIP sandrock

Don't come to me either Carl. If I had an NA 3800 and a Gen V top swap in my basement it wouldn't be in my basement long.

So what if I bring beer and parts? How about that list then Lane? I assume you'd also be down to help with a trans swap by Christmas if I bring more beer and parts? Lol
