Don't forget to throw a car cover on there. :thumbup:
I'm actually surprised so many people seem to be storing their cars this early lately. I figure we've got a least 2-3 more weeks of driving left.
:dunno: |

Cover's on... don't worry.
It's a matter of convenience that I'm leaving it here. I don't need to make a trip to Calgary in the snow with the thing.
And I'm sure as hell not claying/waxing it again... |

claying is using a claybar to remove tar/contaminates from the paint. |

D'oh! I didn't notice that you were storing it in Calgary, rather than here.
I just store mine in my garage, but we have to leave one of our DD's outside during winter, so my wife & I take turns with the other garage stall.
But by this time next year I'll have a triple garage, so no more of THAT nonsense!! :D |

He?
That was my 2 days of work. I decided against getting it done by someone else, since that was 350 bucks that I didn't want to spend. |

well then damn you did one hell of a job.

I only have a one-car garage, so it's better to store it there in Calgary, than leave the car I'll be driving all winter on the driveway.
I'll visit. :lol:
Damien; thanks. Never used a claybar before and I'm pleased at the way it turned out. |

| I'd drive it in the winter, I hear mid engine/rear drive is the best way to go when snow flies. Just take it on down to Canadian Tire and get some Motomaster Z-rated snow tires slapped on :dunno: |

Thought about it.
It's not an MR2 though... if it gets hit, it has to be shipped to Vancouver so someone who knows how to deal with alumnium can work on it.
Not worth the risk, IMO, and I get a sweet winter car out of the deal. |

I wouldn't winter drive an NSX either. (Its made it this long in such nice shape. Why ruin it now?) |

| Damn that thing is sexy! Sucks we get winter damn near 6 months out of the year! Time for a nice hot red snowmobile with louvres on the front and some z rated tread!!!! LOL:lol: |

I was just kidding man. Looks like you did a hell of a detailing job, it looks great :)
I vouch for the clay treatment too, if you've got the patience and make sure you knead the clay often it can really work wonders. I might also try the Zaino system, its a little pricey but I've heard a lot of guys rave about the stuff.
And the VR4 should be stellar winter car. |

I figured you didn't want to come to Calgary, Pavel. :p
It wasn't all that hard to do... just a lot of time. I'm lucky the car has some great paint on it to start with. |

| Looks good Ryan, when you take it out next spring we'll have to do the Banff - Jasper drive again, maybe get a couple more NSX's (or S2k's) to join. |

Maybe a drive out to Lloyd and into northern Saskatchewan.
I've heard it's nice up there. |
