Still have eleven?? Way to go - if over half are currently driveable you're ahead of me.

I'm hoping to pull the Polara out today before I go to bed. Supposed to be around 70!

Well then, youse guyse are way ahead of me..... Not all run/drive, and seems when the kyds get hold of one they always came back the worse for the wear so doesn't often happen any more. There's only 6 that currently run and drive altho there's a couple more that did last time I tried - but that was over 10 years ago so maybe not so much now.

Better than east of you. Currently 12 and light snow at Grand Marais. It'll get down to 30 something tonight, so it's not quite done.
Up until I met my girlfriend, 8 years ago, all my stuff was outdoors. Once I pull it out in the spring, the Polara stays out til the snow flies.

I had my Dart parked inside once, under police orders. Wish my a**hole former Soviet socialist republic neighbor (boy did he get pissed off when I asked if whatever country he came from was part of Russia! I just couldn't keep up with all the different countries) would have talked to me instead of calling the cops at 4 in the afternoon! But they gave me 2 weeks, which stretched into 3 weeks, to put an engine in a car. Would've had it done in 2 days, but f that guy. I took all of the 2 weeks and made sure to drag out crap so he would enjoy looking at it the whole time. Then the cops didn't even check the car! Man the suburbs sure could suck. Glad down where I am now they don't really care of I have a car half torn apart outside my garage for weeks at a time. And I only know 3 out of my 10 neighbors on my block. I miss the country. But even then, my old roommate had his jerk neighbor call the county on him for too much stuff. Told him only one vehicle without tags for every 10 acres! We used to have a small fleet of cars (10-12) in the woods behind the garage! Oh well, rant over. Reaching for a beer now... Ahhh, that tastes good. (10:30am is MY pm, work nights).

Used to work nights, so glad those days are over. There were some benefits to that schedule and it's waaay better than working third shift, but days were still better most of the time.

6pm to 6am. When I work a lot of overtime life seems very boring. Week goes by and I feel like I've accomplished nothing. Wait, that happens no matter what. I'm a bit of a slacker, and my girlfriend is one of those who does more in 2 hours that I do in 2 weeks.
I used to work 2nd shift at a few jobs. Loved not dealing with rush hour traffic, most of the time. 3-11 at one place, get off work, 30 min drive to bar, 3 beers, home to play video games, I was in my 20's and sleep til noonish. Loved it. At the parts store it was 10-6. Throughout the day, I would let other drivers get ahead of me at driveways and such. Come quitting time, I'd get to the road and almost immediately, someone would let me in so I didn't have to wait for who knows how long. I've always been a firm believer in karma. I live in small town america, but still have that city driver aggressive attitude when driving around. Not in the Polara so much, but then again there isn't much traffic to contend with.

Wait a minute, are you copying my resume`?
I "was" planning on taking the Ramcharger off the road and putting the plates on the Warlock for the summer this week . It was 65 degrees the day before yesterday . Today it's about 30 with a wind chill in the teens and I woke up to 3" of heavy wet snow and where supposed to get more all day tomorrow followed by a cold spell all week . Look's like I'll have to wait to have some big block fun .

You swaps plates between vehicles? That would suck. My old stuff gets collector plates, one time fee and never have to worry about registration.
Look at what state I live in .
It would cost me about another $400/$500 a year , plus reg. and tax . That's one of the reason's why I don't have a half dozen vehicles on the road at the same time anymore .

That's insane....... At least here the old ones can go Collector with the one time registration, but any over 10 years old is just about 35.00/yr for regular plates. The 2014 I just bought will run about 400/ yr but that goes down fairly quickly.
