    How long without your F-Body??

    Since you have owned your beloved F-Body, how long have you went without driving it. By the time my exhaust is finished on my H/C/misc build it will have been 11 months since I have driven it. I have owned the car for 7 years and this will be the longest. I store it every winter but thats only around 5 months or so....

    Man: The Mods you are fighting,
    they are the biggest Men I have ever seen. I
    wouldn't want to fight them!

    Me: That is why no one will remember your name!

    Mine gets stored during the winter and does not get driven on bad weather days. Therefore, 6 months. The worst is when you do end up modded it and other shit breaks, which is what has happened to me. 3 weeks to get it modded, drive it 2 weeks, something goes wrong. Drove it a few weeks, now I have no 4th gear so I am having the T56 rebuilt/upgraded. Looks like another week or two before I get it back again. Did I mention I love fast cars lol?
    Boost gets you laid, unless your name is Jon.

    It sucks being I just spent all of this money on other things for the car. I guess I'll be happy in the end...if their is such a thing.

    I'll probably go with the level IV upgrade: http://www.rpmtransmissions.com/levelivt56.html

    Just winter storage, which is usually 5-6 months. The stock trans cooler failed me so it was down for about a month while i got that rebuilt.

    Not too bad...i go through withdrawal sometimes..

    Off the road and limited insurance coverage from approximately November to March -- all depends on the weather. That gives me a nice stretch for any planned mods or routine maintenance.

    The longest I've went without my baby is a year. I'm in the Army and just recently came back from Afghanistan. So I'm not too upset seeing how I just dumped 4 grand in it.

    I hate always uprooting your life, but it pays the bills. And I also just reenlisted for 6 more years. I used re-up bonus to pay off the SS.
