Hey all
I was just curious what everyone's plan for their cars over the winter. I myself am kind of at a crossroads. I think the coronet has a lot more in it with a few tweaks to the chassis. So, I'll be focusing on that for me.
What are you all doing?

Well as of Wednesday it sounds like I could be having a very big sale over the winter.
