So where's your truck been parked all winter????

Is it just me or is anyone else getting the serious bug to go drive the non-driver???? I've looked at my truck all winter out the window of my downstairs office. These warm days are really getting to me. The bottom of our deck is roofed so water doesn't drip down. Pretty nice hiding spot. Getting time to put it in the garage for the next several months. So just where has your non-driver been all winter?????

Yes....that is my Christmas tree to the right! Can you say "hillbilly"?

Re: So where's your truck been parked all winter????

Hey Big Al, Your truck looks lonely sitting there. It needs some company, like a '67 with 20's and air ride. Black and white. Kind of a sister or something...

In my garage with the heat on, getting new wood bed, trans lines, new hood hinges and springs and horns. Hopping to get out on the road this Sunday for a test beat around town and down the highway.

Re: So where's your truck been parked all winter????

Winter! What’s that? I have been driving it. I must say, you snowed in guys have it good though. It gives you a reason not to drive it and get some work done. I wish we had bad winters here so I could do the same. It’s always a hard decision on the weekends, do I work on it or drive it and most of the times, I drive it.

Re: So where's your truck been parked all winter????

Mine sits under the carport in front of my mom's 02 burb, when the wind gets to blowing (always) it still gets covered in snow/rain though. I've tried to drive it at least every 2-3 weeks all winter on the "warm" weekends.
