Default A little midnight garage cleaning

Just when did you think I would do it? During the day I'd be paying a nurse to be with Dad, but late night when he is tucked in, I can do my outside chores. Of course my own doing that for the past 20 years couldn't get one car in a 3 car garage. Cleaning it up to get the Track-T in was no problem because not only does it not take much room, you can see all corners of the T going in. Not the same with an enclosed car and its blind spots. In the past I just did the easy thing, buy white vehicles that have no fear of sun fading and leave them out.

This is the last car that enjoyed the refuge of the garage around 1985...




whew!!

I have nothing in my garage but two cars, I MEAN NOTHING. (but an epoxy floor, white walls and a smooth ceiling). Someone was walking down the street recently and commented loudly (from 30 yards away) "THAT'S JUST SICK." I don't think he mean't it as a compliment.

He can't see the 1200 sq ft of walk-out finished basement that's just packed, where my shop is located. The neighbors will just have to keep thinking I'm odd. I guess I give 'em plenty of reasons.

I know I need a shed, but what I lust for is a GT40. I have been looking for awhile, just don't know how long it will take. It needs to have EFI, and to come close to my T's power to weight ratio, if it weighs 2400 lbs, needs about 575 hp. CTS-V was bought on time at 0.0%, so as to keep cash ready for the "right" GT40. Yours in your avatar sure looks nice.

That one was featured in Fast 5. Unfortunately, they had to repaint it as the finish would have reflected the cameras and crew. Here are some better pictures:







Sorry, not EFI, but a stack system would look great!
