Hmmm... I'm just getting mine on the road! It's my daily driver, though it won't see snow/salt duty.

I just took the plates and insurance off the 'Bird on Friday. I added Sta-bil to the gas when I filled it, and won't bother fogging it because the engine is coming apart anyway for the HO upgrade. Still gotta wash it for storage though...

This week mine gets put away, your cover looks similar to mine, I do park mine on wood planks, I heard somewhere that prolonged parking on the cement is not good for the tires, maybe someone else has heard that as well?  Dave
