Thanks for posting the video. - Are you a member of TOA (Toronado Owners Club)???
Watching that video, and some others of Toronados has relit the fire to get my parents to get Moms' 1970, Ming Jade, Toronado out of storage and back on the road. She/we parked it in 1987 when I refused to let her sell/trade it in on a new Dodge Shadow. - Dad is worried that if he gets it back out she will want to drive it everyday... - I say "LET HER!!!!"
Get yourself a cat. Our neighborhood was like yours, when my parents bought the house. The house cat brought piles of mice to our door daily.
Mice will undermine the value of your cars. Once they start urinating, you'll never get rid of the smell. Some people are even allergic to rodent urine.
And no. You don't really want people urbanizing your surroundings. Do you?
I grew up in suburban Detroit where we had a high percentage of humidity. Use a de-humidifier in that closed garage of yours
To keep the mildew away, you have to keep the windows open. Mildew will die, within a year's time, without trapped moisture.
Try attaching screens on the window openings, to keep out rodents. Mice can get into the fresh air induction, on some cars. I'd seal that too, just in case.
Please don't drive it in the winter. Wait until a couple rain falls clear te roads of all salt
do you own all of that 60 acres? That would be nice to have around here. All the land up here is houses now. There is still a bit left, but it will be houses soon. I need to buy 30 or 40 acres to keep the houses off it. Ug. haha
Yup, sold da house accross da street. It had 23 wooded acres. Kept 66. Coulda' bought 130 that went around 2 sides for $50g's. Wifey blew it. Woulda' had 196acres. Guy wants $350,000 now. He's a jerk, but he has the deed. Not too stupid, I suppose... Ug
My friend had an IROC. We put a BADASS shift kit in da 700R4. It would BASH u're neck when it shifted! Banks exhaust. What a RUMBLE! Pre vid day... Ug
Yeah, I had no idea you had those, I thought you just had the Suburbans, pickup trucks, and Corvairs. Very nice, next time you take them out for a drive you should definitely video it.
Was gonna' start 'em up today. Had a bottle a gas ta prime the carb, but plans changed. Oh well. I'll go back. Gotta' repair the building for more room for more cars...
Just kept buying more junk... And the ole lady said "NO OUT" So I didn't. It came out every few years, round da block, then back into the basement garage...
i saw a show with jay lenno and he has a car EXACTALLY like yours!!! only with a 527!!!
