Like it was yesterday I remember the day I picked the car up from the dealership in Toronto in early December. A buddy had agreed to meet me with his truck and open car trailer. I drove the car across the road from the dealership to a Sunoco station put in StaBil and filled the tank with 240 and loaded it on the trailer to take to our place in Haliburton. Good thing I did not drive, we ran into a snow storm that dumped about 6 inches of snow on the roads and covered the car with snow and slush. I was heartbroken, what a mess.
My wife and I managed to wash it with buckets of hot water the week before Christmas (no outside running water). It sat until next May. The following year was a tough one, I was too sick to drive it or do much else and it sat for the year. Since then I have put about 2.5K a year on it but I tell you what. It never gets old.
