No wine, so just a basement.  We need them for Tornados.

  :'( i miss having a basement. i dont miss tornadoes. Your car is purty :). Looking at it made me think back to 1989 when I owned an 89 Dodge Daytona Shelby Turbo (red/charcoal) that had the little spoiler thing on the liftgate.. but also had panels that covered all the space between the car and the ground. If i had taken those off, and lifted the car.. it woulda been pretty close lookin to an SX/4. (Altho' i dont think it will ever live up to an eagle)

Do you start her up periodically throughout the hybernation to make sure everything continues working.
