good call Hameed!
Just teasing you guys!!! End of an era till Spring 04!! I will miss my GS driving this s##t box for 6 very long salty and cold months! The GS is too special to me to put it through the harsh Ontario winters.

Good decision. The grea part about putting the car away for a while (more like 4-5 months) is that when the spring rolls around, the anticipation is so great that getting into the Lex is almost like driving it for the first time again. I also have some fun driving my 95 4-Runner (manual) through the deep stuff.

Trying to save up for those big kahuna HRE's next year maybe.

The lighting on this car is soooooooooooo pathetic. I wonder what I can do to improve the safety of driving this car at night. Coming home from work last night was a guessing game trying to figure out where the road was!!
I am not talking about HID quality but something better than what is on the car presently. I need to do some research on this car...................

Great Idea - especially the exhaust that just installs on top of the existing exhaust!!!

Maybe replacing the bulbs might do it! If the car is old (i reckon it is), and the bulbs have lasted...good chance they are original and intensity not as bright as brand new bulbs.
Give it a try!

I plan on doing the same thing very soon. Already had first snow.
Hameed, what are you doing to your car before storing it? There are some links found here (CL) to help with ideas for storing your car. I figure on putting it up on jackstands placed under the lower suspension arm, cracking the windows slightly, cover with a breathable cloth, and put a few strategically placed mothballs (not too many, these are strong smelling) inside the cabin and trunk. For the exterior I plan on washing/waxing then wiping the chrome/exhaust/wheels with furniture polish. The polish works well for my golfclub shafts/heads when put up for the winter...not rusting from condensation during up-down changes in temp. Just give it a wash in the spring and go.
Winter beater...I have a 96 Toyota T100 SR5 4WD pickup...240k miles, no leaks anywhere. Man, I should mod this truck...TRD supercharger, headers, exhaust, bodylift with 33x10.5 mud rated tires...what else? Solid truck. I've had two rear-end accidents and the tow-bumper is still on strong..bent a little. I drove away. The other two vehicles lost...Ford Ranger smashed had to be towed, Jeep Grand Cherokee totally smashed front end and is totalled.

The hassle of doing all that stuff to store it and not drive it for 5 months was just not worth it. I have a 2-car garage at home, so it will be in there for now. I especially don't like the jack stand idea for fear of causing some kind of damage to the undercoating.

You will be able to any and everything for this car that you can imagine. There is a guy named LIUSPEED on that board that specializes in lighting for sentra/200SX, etc.
Hope this helps!!
