Sleepy Chicken…

Mileage: 88,751

 

It is that time of year again.  The Trans Am is going into winter storage.  We haven’t really had any winter type weather yet, but it has been getting colder (in the 30’s) over the past week or so.  I don’t have any problem driving the Trans Am when it is cold out, but if it isn’t in the garage and put away for the winter, it really gets in the way when I am trying to get other things done for the winter.  So, the other day Will and I drove it up to the fire station and gave it a good cleaning.  We filled up the gas tank, added some fuel stabilizer, and took it out for one more ride.  When we got back, I got it parked tight against the front and side walls of the garage and put the cover on it.  I plan on starting it a couple times over the winter to keep the juices flowing!  This year I put 308 miles on the Trans Am.  I’m thinking I would have had almost double that if I didn’t do all of the interior/heater core work. 

Here are the mileage totals since I have owned the Trans Am:

2008 – 163 miles

2009 – 398 miles

2010 – 539 miles

2011 – 308 miles

Total: 1,408 miles

In the above photo, you might have also noticed the new shelf Dad and I built in the garage for the Kitty Cat.  I really wanted to get the Kitty Cat off the ground so I could get the Trans Am as close to the front of the garage as I could.  I also didn’t want it to get banged into with anything and broken.  The shelf allows for the Kitty Cat to go on and off easily and still has room underneath for the nose of Trans Am.

NOTE:  With this post, I am now 100% caught up with everything I have been meaning to post about!  I do have the Duck Hunting 2011 recap pending, but the season isn’t over yet, so that will be up soon after!  Thank you everyone for continuing to stop in and read despite the lack of regular updates!
