I know how you feel!
I hate not having a heated garage!

I'm tempted to rent one of those "Pods" storage units and using it as a workshop!

I can help you instal it, I'll talk to you about it at tomarows meet. You just need to find a spring compressor. Keep in mind you may need an alignment right away after you drop eleanor that much.

I still have nblume's spring compressors that he wasn't too excited to get back. I'm sure you can have them until someone else needs them!

I don't have a huge garage at my apt but I can grab a heater from my work. I have susp going in too. So if you want we can make it and party.
I'm not the MN ZX3 w/ Cali plates anymore.
