    Jammed in is correct. How do you get in and out of them?
     
  5. They use to. I have an old one outside leaning against a post.

    ' I used a floor jack to get the corvette close to the wall. Then I drove the Astorian in with my head out the window to get it close to the vette and climbed out the passenger side, repeat with the 40
     
  7. I couldn’t find any studded cheater slicks but I’m sure they could be added.
    These could help for winter cruising.

    In the Omaha Nebraska tools craigslist. You can buy a snowtire stud insaller that comes with lots of studs for $80 dollars. Problem solved.

    Awesome, I love it! Seriously, have you ever considered selling your place and getting a home on a chunk of property and putting up a 60 x 100 building? One tall enough to accommodate a 2nd story mezzanine for your collectables (and maybe even living space. Go full on "Barndominium" route. Who needs a stand alone house?).

    I've got a whole batch of period correct bias ply tire chains out in the shed I'd make a real good deal to someone on.
    On the other hand, I am sure glad I didn't have to do that squeeze the cars into the tight spot job today.

    Rumor has it that you don't do much cooking...parking one in the kitchen could be an option;).

    Horrible problem to have. Maybe next year you could orphan a few out to some of Us that live in warmer climates!

    Okay @Moriarity, here is a hypothetical: you must sell one car to double your garage space, which one goes?

  25. Move ??? ( !!! ) :confused:

    Heaven forbid he has to pack up his kitchen. That's a lot of bubble wrap for spark plug wires. I can't fathom the pain. :)

    Man, I really don’t have any idea.... most of my friends hate the Revell Deals wheels 57 Chevy, but I really like it. Besides at 11 feet long there aren’t many other cars that would fit where it is parked.... I am really bad at selling stuff, selling only leads to regret....

  28. Yeah. Fugg' that. I wouldn't move. "Let him whom hasn't sinned, cast the first stone." :D

    Probably do need some more cars, though. Hahaha !!!

    @Moriarity I know it's O/T here, but maybe you could sneak in a paragraph and photo of that motorcycle sitting under the lift next to the boat? I can see it's not a typical motorcycle engine sitting in the frame cradle.
