    Don't do it! Weather sucks...it's wintry December thru March, rainy April thru June, hot, humid and rainy July thru August, September thru November: AWESOME!

    You'll need a beater most of the year....or have a dirty "8er"!

    We are just "down the street" in Westfield. 3 hours down the interstate. 2 hours in your 8. When Ron gets his 8 here, we might actually have enough for a mini wrenchfest lol.

    We'll call it Central IN 8s.

    If I don't pass CA Smog this weekend "Heidi" may arrive sooner than expected! And, with two garages with lifts we'll have to rotate Wrenchfest locations.
