The only person I would trust enough to drive her on any kind of a regular
basis would be my brother...and he lives in Denver :| I was always told
that if you're going to put a vehicle up on stands for any length of time
that you remove the tires to reduce the stress on the suspension, since it's
not designed to be hanging unloaded. I think I'm just gonna find a storage
facility, or someone I can trust that has a garage and put her up on stands,
do the gas stabilizer, disconnect the battery, good coat of wax and a cover.
Thanks guys.
