My daily driver is a 2005 Ford 4x4 Ranger with a 4.0 V6 and it's a blast to drive...

My daughter has the same great taste as does Ford Lariat and has a 2005 Ford Focus in the same color sonic blue, awesome color...

Oh, and the Ranger is dark shadow grey, it would just be too much sonic blue for me…
Nice Lightning,do you ever take it to NED to drag race?

Winter storage? What's that?

Most folks I know who gotta do that crap, friends who live up north, usually top the tank off and add a bottle of Stable gas stablizer, change the oil and call it done.

ETA - And NAASTY, those are some tough looking GNs. Nice rides.

I just got this truck in August. I looked in the Lighting section to get advice on how to store the truck. There really isn't a consensus. I won't be draining the oil or fuel. Just add some fuel stabilizer. Some people, like '01 get pretty involved with their storage method. I was going to get more involved but I didn't get everything I wanted to get done before it got cold. I stored my '98 a couple winters. Just parked it in the garage. It was fine in the spring when I took it out.

My grandma has a 92. its has less than 35k miles and is kept in the garage
Her's probably has a 305 in it. Ours is basically a Impala SS with the back over it. Also, ours just passed 41k. When we got it, it had 18k. Factory stainless dual exhaust, "275 HP" or so they say. I'd like to do something about the air intake and the exhaust and tint the windows, but that's another story.

Yeah, it is nice. It's one of the houses that I clean every couple of weeks.

Hey Master, don't forget about your 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE or the 2003 Nissan Murano SL 2WD. And it looks to me like you're living in that house that you clean every few weeks. Or are they just nice enough to let you park your Volvo in the garage?

Becasue they are not known for acquireing a lot of miles in thier life span before they blow up or fall apart.
Basically just drive it til it stops. Not worth doing much work to, just keep it on the road, maybe. Wifes has 150,000 on it and I am debating if it's worth the next oil change or not.
She loves it and doesn't want to sale it, she wants to drive the wheels off of it. So I'll let her. If I had my way we'd sell it to the salvage yard and get something better. But she doesn't want another payment yet.

Well as if I haven't mentioned it before or posted it in my profile...

I have

1967 Plymouth Belvedere II convertible, 318 auto, in the body shop right now getting painted Go ManGo! She'll have a custom black interior with a black top, and 15" Torque Thrust II's. I'm currently freshening up the 318 and adding new cam, 4bbl, aluminum intake and headers... Once she's back on the road, and I get the interior done I'll be looking to build a hot roller cam fuel injected 318.

Daily driver is the Stang... 2004 GT Premium 5-spd. A few aftermarket goodies...

Work horse was to be my '75 F100, SWB, 2WD, 390, auto. But just found out it's got a dead cylinder (0 compression), and has started smoking. Burnt and/or stuck valve on #6. So, if I can keep it from smoking too bad I'll just drive it till it dies. My buddy is going to buy it to rebuild, and we might drop his 460 in it one of these days.

I'm also thinking about buying a 1984 5th Avenue, 318 auto. Might trade it for something that would power a Cobra kit car Dad and I are thinking about going together on, or I might keep it for parts and breaking in my 318...

NASSTY, Love the GN's! Dad has a low mileage '87 with lots of go fast parts... I WANT THAT CAR! but don't know what I'd do with it... There's a couple pix in my gallery...
