This is not supposed to happen to a "Garage Queen"

While I used to use her and abuse her, after 9 years and 64k though miles she's retired to a nice life of the occasional hardware store run or camping trip. And there are a few members on here who now have her old skids, winch and other accessories. She always gets parked in the garage...unless I backed into the garage and am awaiting a new one. I was down in Florida working and my wife sent me this. About sent me into siezures. Ice and Sun, my arch enemies! As soon as the new door was installed I had to call a friend over to back her up

 

Nice pic though.

 

Doesnt hurt anything. Look where i live. we deal with this nearly half the year.

 

Yes, because the rusted out quarter panels and fender wells of the North East evoke the message "Doesn't hurt anything"

I just did a brake job for a friend on his 2003 Chevy full size who came from Wisconsin. It was nasty, all the bushings were shot and huge chunks of metal where falling from the control arms. Yes, salt plays a major role but the repetitious wet, frozen, wet cycle doesn't help any. I still plan on having this truck in 20 years. Yours, will not last that long.

 

Ugh. I used to live in a snowbelt region. I don't miss that shit at all. Destroys your vehicle.

 

how you people live in that is beyond me.... ill gladly take my earthquakes here in so cal.

 

I also would gladly take earthquakes over bitter cold, torrential rain, the racist dude at the farm store, rude customer service, smokers and cops that don't follow simple rules of the road; but sometimes work makes you move. As an Oregonian I will definitely be returning to the West Coast to chill among my Volcanoes.

Edit: Did I mention sub-standard schools, lack of recycling options and ignorance beyond belief.

 

Why are you so afraid of ice cold water? Did you have a bad experience on ice as a child?

 

Ice will melt. Earthquakes destroy lives and property. I would take an ice storm anytime over an earthquake. The ground may get slippery with ice but at least it's not moving.

 

Coming from someone in san diego that pic is awesome. I wouldn't want my truck out there either.

Btw is 90 and sunny with a ocean breeze today. Lol

 

I agree. No one has ever frozen to death or lost their life due to an accident caused by ice.

 

It's 40° F and blowing 20-30mph here. Yeah, you suck.

 

That's about the same here. Maybe 45°. However, it feels great compared to -10° to 20° that we've had for the last 3 months. T shirt weather now!

 

Yeah, I've ben able to wash mine maybe 3 times since December. not sure what you guys in western mass still have but I've got about 2 feet of snow still in the yard.

 

I'm from NC just like OP. Since i live in coastal NC i hardly ever see this icy weather, which is why people freak out when they do see it down here!

 

Only this forum can have an argument about ice.

 

San diego, mmmmmmm, the Taco Stand in La Jolla on Pearl st...AWESOME.

I used to perform at the Miramar Airshow every year. Loved them tacos.

 

Would you rather rehash the argument on oil change interval.....didn't think so.

 

Oil change?! Only pussies change their oil!!

 

I don't see anyone arguing.
