Re: do-it-yourself options



Whell, I just moved and all I have is a small car port, which doesnt supply much
shelter for these cold and very wet portland winters
I could use my girlfriends grandmothers garage, but I have my camaro in there
and the door is busted so I cant get my camaro out let alone get the rocc in,
luckily I have all my tools there, and I have hour (or sometimes more) lunches,
so I can run to grandmas and throw some work clothes on and change oil, belts,
coolant, and other quick maintenance and or repairs, How ever due to the lack of
time and dry wether, I find myself having to go to the mechanics for more thatn
I would like, I have a great mechanic, I just like to do my own repairs and
maintenance, but with my Rocc being a daily driver and not having a garage, I
have no time and or space to do extensive work. thus I guess the winter option
for repairs relies hevily on the walet and mechanic.

in need of a dry garage and another daily driver.
