    my maverick has never entered our garage... :cry: i hate thinking about it because when it was built it was really too small... i measured it out and if it was as close to the door as possible there would only be about a foot and a half to walk in front past it...:cry: :mad: :banghead: :cry: :mad: :lolup: :bsod:


    i dont know what they were thinking... :coco:

    Trust me, you aren't missing anything special. Snow is overrated.
    Too bad global warming is a figment of Algore's imagination.:rofl2:

    It stays in the garage from November through May or until a good rain washes all the salt off the roads in the Spring. I have been known to sneak a warmup ride only if the roads are clean and dry but it does not happen much.

    Mine is outside under a cover. I drive it when my kid's car is out of the way so I can get it out of my driveway.

    Well the first snow fall has come to the frozen north (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) this year and sadly for me this thus ends my 2009 car show/car cruise season. I may still drive the 'ol Comrick once or twice this year if it gets sorta warm but that most likely does it for this year.:mad: I must say this was the best cruising year for me yet and can hardly wait till 2009. To all you Maverick / Comet guys and all other cruisers who take the time to go out to the shows, have a good one and if your lucky enough to be able to drive your Maverick or Comet all year round just remember us guys who have our cars locked away in our garages or covered in a mound of snow. Now all i can do is " look" at my car and wish for next year.:cry::16suspect:rolleyes::bouncy::D(y):drive:
    Takit-eeezzz.:dance:
