haha.
I'd just washed it and the exhaust tips were still a bit warm. I didn't want them burning through my cover. I should probably take a better picture instead of that crummy cell phone shot.

TopGear: look into the covercraft Noah (what' I have in my pic)
It should fit with the MS front bumper. I have the MS wing and it fits just fine. (the front looks a bit tight in that pic but there was plenty of slack left on the rear bumper.

I wonder how many people use a dehumidifier or go all the way as to wrap the under carriage of the car to prevent moisture/rust build up underneath when keeping their car in a garage on concrete all winter.
Btw 9k, noice freaking room there for working on the car!

how does keeping a car in the garage on concrete create rust?

Moisture Jedi, a dehumidifier or say a wooden floor like some people that put their cars in an old shop or barn covering it up get better protection since wood absorbs moisture whereas concrete will not. That is why they suggest dehumidifiers for people who store their cars for a long period of time in their garage that is on solid concrete. Otherwise overtime moisture due to humidity over 50% will build up and contribute to rusting the vehicle under carriage typically.
One friend of the family back in NY has a collection of muscle cars and he bubble wraps the bottom of the car up before covering it with a car cover in his oversized garage for the winter. He's quite finicky about it himself but that may be an excessive measure.

can a moderator PLEASE delete supamang's post? It doesn't appear to have anything to do with this thread and the pic is incredibly big and stretching out the page.
Vlaze: good to know, I just learned something new for the day.
Mine sits in the garage for a week or 5 at a time but I try and drive it on weekends when the weather is nice.
I need to buy another cover for it since the one in the pic is my 'outdoor' cover and I now have my eyes on a Form-Fit cover from Covercraft but I'm trying to convince myself that it's worth the expense and that owning 4 car covers is in fact "needed"
Cornholio: both of the cars are M/T? if so, congrats on finding a woman who knows how to handle a 'stick'
Oh, and whose is faster???

I don't think it's a big deal for you Jedi or people who live in warmer climates for winter time. For us where it gets quite cold, the shift in air temperatures makes it so the RH (relative humidity) changes were the moisture can't be held anymore in the air and then condensation happens and will create rust on metals like your tools, under your car, other equipment and so forth. It's the same as bringing a car that was out in the freezing cold into a heated garage. If the garage is heated and you leave your car in there over the winter then it's not really that much if any of an issue since the air stays warm enough to inhibit the moisture.

Brettus: I'm just a bit obsessive compulsive about keeping my car clean (damn Black cars) and if it sits in the garage for a few weeks without being driven it'll get all dusty.
P.S. I don't see a turbo (or signs of one) in that engine bay. Really old picture of you have a super stealth install.
