Well, she had a good run this season, and I am proud to say that she didn't break down once! Minor tuning was required, but hey, she's a DSM.

Time to drive the Regal while the Talon hibernates.

Grey Sled will soon "hit tha blocks" for the winter.

Pretty much a good season with a 12.3 at 115mph and only busted a TOB.

Well deserved rest I guess.

Don't think I even put 1000 km on mine this year. Spent a ton of money on it though! Not break down stuff though thank god. She was torn apart for most of the year for upgrades/waiting for upgrades. Still a ton of stuff to do over the winter. New engine, intercooler, likely strip the interior out, etc. Better get at least 13's out of next year. laugh

hehe... I'm planning some interesting upgrades this winter as well, however the car is not yet in pieces. Technically, it's parked for the winter as of tomorrow night, so I might go for one last spin before then.

We got snow here in Sask too so putting away my 97 likely tommorrow. I had a good year with think all the shakedown bugs fixed up and didn't break anything either.
Nice to know can just fire it up and drive it in spring ,it was down most of this year with the engine build and modfest. Tempting to maybe get my 91 auto driveable for winter but think just save the money for the 97 and sell the other two dsms. Have a few too many cars right now.

My car is also down for the winter, all the wrong reasons though. She's broken down, and needs massive motor repair. She'll be back in the spring, a whole new monster wink

Just gotta finish up some bodywork on the 90 TSi AWD and then the 98 will be parked for the winter. Those 880cc injectors are pretty cranky in cold weather!

Mine went away this past fri, nothing major broke. Had a couple small annoying things go on me, that will all be fixed up next spring. Up to this year I hadn't had a single issue with the car but I still have had basically every part of the car apart laugh Started a small pile of goodies already, trying to convince myself on a FP3052 but not sure if I can bring myself to spend that kind of money on a turbo (I must be getting old & responsible lol ).

I'm in the same boat as you Rob. This season began for me about a month ago as well. And like you, you bet I'm gonna milk every drop outta what's left of the season. In fact, I've already glory-roaded my way to about two months worth in that month. smile

For the record, I park my car once it snows. It snowed, so she's hibernating - not just because it's cold outside and the wolves are after me.
