At least you have a car that you "could" put them on.

I wouldn't have a car to put them on if I bought them

If any of you are interested in getting your trim done in CF, now is the time. Tony from Carbon Fiber Element is putting together a group buy for his services.

Not really. My garage is insulated, heated, and drained, so the elements that the car is in really is no different then right now. While its on stands, its really no problem to sit in the car and start it.

My only issue from last year was after no starting if for over 3 months, my battery was dead. Gotta love the analog clock.

Don't worry about $$$ man, you're in college. Sh*t, even if i would have dropped every penny I put into my cavalier while i was in college, I still wouldnt' have been able to afford a G..lol (keep in mind this was 04-08).

Only money that should be on your mind is for our trip!~

Trev, if you're not lucky enough to have an insulated garage like me, i would add fuel stabilizer (i forget the brand but i'll let you know when i remember) (i believe a bottle for a full tank, you add the bottle and then fill up so they can mix). then i'd disconnect the battery and turn the car over once a month for about 30 min or so. not a bad idea to through it up on stands for the tires, i'll probably do that this time around.

I only use fuel stabilizer and start the car every couple of weeks. I have yet to get flat spots but I ll move it from time to this winter just in case.

seriously? ...if i don't drive the car for 2-3 weeks, I can already feel/hear the thump thump thump on the brand new pavement right outside my house...takes a few miles for it to go away. Might have something to do w/ how soft toyos are though? Not sure.

i'm not sure either. maybe if you have the tire pressure to the max limit it would prevent the tires from deforming? maybe not tho. but if you're not going to drive the car for the whole winter it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the tires off if you have space to store them.

Yeah never had a problem. But I agree with you two. It wouldn't hurt to invest into some stands as I'm sure they will come in handy for future mods and wheel cleaning

I wish I had a 3 car garage coz then I could go all out with a lift in the 3rd stall but that will have to wait for the next house (whenever that is). I m still gonna hook up this garage fairly nicely though. The G has asked me for a 4 star garage
