Why do I do it, in answer to post #2? Very simple answer - I work 70-80 hours per week in the winter at my job, and it puts a huge smile on my face on a Sunday once in a while to go out to the garage, start it up and hear it run  . I'd go stir crazy for 4-5 months if I couldn't get behind the wheel and hear it run... |
oh dont get me wrong i get the stir crazy part, It would be a great time to do all the grease zerks and routine maintenance.
thats why ya gotta get yourself a winter hobby!
altho some of my summer hobbies that i say i will do in the winter somehow never happen...(supposed to rebuild a moped engine in the basement- yea that aint happening as of yet. Just wait late Jan Feb or March will get back to our frigid temps and snow and ice again... It always does.
