Default For those not driving now...

I know there are a few of us who have the car stored away waiting for all the damn snow to melt, or are 500 miles from the car or whatever. Well this topic is for all of us!

I'm counting down the days till spring. A little under 2 months now. Wohoo. Just hope nothing has gone wrong with the car over the winter. :P

It's been about 6 weeks now for me due to just doing maintenance/repairs. However I saw my pump came in by UPS this morning, so it should be started again tonight

Sadly, I am not able to drive my P-cars right now. Luckily they are stored in another state (Maine) and I am never tempted to get them out of their sleep. If there was ever a warm day with clear roads, I think I might be forced to do a few laps around the block! Best wishes and still counting down the days - Jay Gratton

I haven't driven mine since the end of Novemeber. I put it away a bit prematurely since there really wasn't any snowy weather until December. I'm hoping sometime in march we get a thaw and I can bring her out again. Ohh can't wait.

I drove mine on Saturday. Felt good. But because of the lame weather, I am mostly opening the door, spraying a bit of "New Car Smell" in there, closing the door, and turning the garage light off!

Never mind spring...I just want a clear road with no salt! We need a nice heavy rain!

Nothing new to me, always have stored the car from Thanksgiving until about mid April....I go and visit from time to time, you know to do stuff like install my new updated Tailights, or my 968 RST Wing, or even my new coverlay dash cover, ohh and even install my new clear plastic cone filter heat sheild.....For now I am just having fun with the Jetta....Let it snow let it snow...Evey winter I try to do atleast three mods...The money I save on Insurance goes towards new mods...

NICE PIC!

I with LeadFoot, i got a few parts over the winter and it kinda cures the itch to drive it. My car is currently 420 miles away, but i know its under a cover in a heated garage in a fenced in Geezzer-Housing Complex. That helps me to sleep better at night.

I look forward to when schools over and i can drive my car again!

Well if it makes any of you East coasters feel any better Eurospec944 and i are sitting here at my computer both not driving our 944's.... One has been totaled (eurospecs) and mine has been sitting in a shop forever... So, life in sunny Socal isn't all that great either... (although we can walk outside!)
