Nope, she is in a garage. Which I am grateful to have, I am concern she will fade so I don't take her out much. I think the last time we had the car out was at end of May.

I think it has been longer for us. It hasn't rained since we got Maggie. I always joke that she is going to be scared the first time it rains and she has to go out to pee.

I hear batteries only last 1 summer here.

Our garage stays fairly cool so I think Jewel and her parts are safe. Also it will be nice having the garage when the nitrous is installed. I don't think that could be a good thing to have a bottle of nitrous sitting in a hot car all day.

I had the car out on my birthday, because we went to a fancy dinner. Then a week later for cars and coffee and then nothing since then.

Maybe I will take it out on Friday to go see Transformers.


OHHHH I forget Jewel is getting Dyno'ed this weekend. So we will have the car out and about.

Nice, lets see what numbers Jewel pulls. I just haven't driven the Camaro because I park between 2 trucks at work and someone has already managed to scrape up the Cruze. At least it will buff out, but I would have been way more pissed if it was the Camaro.

yeah parking at my work is really crappy too and I have to park under trees that sap.


Yeah I am hoping for better numbers than what I had last year at this time. I think my crappy headers and the heat gave me those terrible numbers.

I park in a garage that only the surrounding state employees get to park in but it still is very cramped. I don't think I could take my dad's Silverado to work and fit in the space comfortably.
