First drive in 2023

Post by spider2081 »

Got my Spider out of the car port and took it for its first 2023 drive yesterday. All went well except mice did get into the car.

I put a large tarp down on the floor and then drive the car onto it. pull the tarp up over the sides and tie it with clothesline that pass over the car. I then put a car cover over the car and the sides of the tarp. Darn mice ate through the tarp on the floor and got into the car. Not a lot of mess but still a surprise to see they got in.

Today I will clean the car and get it ready for more use.

We love our 81 Spider.

Darn mice... My issue out here is spiders (the spiderweb kind of spiders). They appear out of nowhere each night. Perhaps I shouldn't act surprised.

But, we're still stuck with rain and 50 degree weather out here. Early April for us is usually clear and in the 70s / near 80.
