I think they call that a "Paradise Tax"... Beautiful in the summer but "not so much" in the winter!

" />           Well a little more shoveling and a few good pulls with my willys and its finaly free.Winter is not generaly an expletive in wisconsin but this one was cold and lots of snow.I enjoy ice fishing in the winter but this year we have close to 3 foot of snow on the lakes without the drifts.I havent goten stuck yet but get tired of shoveling tring to find ice.My 55 willys is my winter beast.Starts at -35 when nothing else will.Idont have a modern vehicle,i prefer the vintage tin.Imay  break down ocasionly but useualy dont get stranded. I didnt pay alot for my stuff but there drivers not trailer queens.When i picked up my van a couple years ago i joined vv in hope of finding help,and posibly parts.On dial up i couldnt post pics so ive pretty much a lurker here.Now ive got dsl and photo bucket and im chompin at the bit to get back to work on my van.My pockets are shallow but my ambition runs deep.here is a pic of the rest of the herd.No fords or dodges here,all chevies.Next to the willys is my 51 short box stepside i bought when i was 15.My 65 g and and the motorhome is a 1966 i bought off e-bay for 400.

That's one Fine looking Herd! Love to see more pics... Keep em coming!

GREAT Looking Collection of Vintage Tin.!!!..  

Slowrider-U may be my clone! Im same ways too-Every vehicle i own has classic plates now & no lisence renewals!!!!!!!!!!!!!   sold my 47 willis -that i put a chev in years ago. Happy Vannin!!

It's still pretty nasty outside the door.

Here = spokane wa today = am temps final;ly 32-33F anf warming & clear -sunny with 53F & higher all weel -its coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Spring is really early here, today has been sunny and temp is now 54F. No snow anymore at all. If the weather continues like this I need to start to look at how my lawnmower is doing after winter. Winter this year was exceptionally mild.

ITS 65 HERE TODAY AND I HAVE MY VAN DOWN TO INSTALL A TEMP GAUGE IN IT, NO CRUSSING FOR ME TODAY, DAY AFTER TOMORROW HIGH OF 20 LOW SINGLES,   

Same teaser weather here as well.It's showing 79 now,with a low of 24 tomorrow night.

I'll take theat teaser, 50's last 3 days and melted alot, but 4-6 tonite than 20's again

Take that Corvair, a little modification here and there and these things handle snow no problem! We had a few hot days here that saved my but and melted my ice dams toot sweet.

Try this again,lost power frist try.  
This AM heavy rain-frezzing rain then  wet snow , now blowing snow from ever way??? Weather said 5- 10 in of snow with blowing & drifting???  was out at 7 AM getting snow off tent(looked like it was going to cave in on 65.( Not after I just painted it) Was 50 here yesterday.

THINK SPRING.

That'll cure the winter blues for sure!!! Who's van is that? I really like the look of those mirrors(big enough to get a good view)! Hope he doesn't back up over her foot!

Sorry not looking at the feet.

wander if they like to play poker ?

Nearing the end of march and not much different than january.Waiting on a throttle cable from summit and then get to lay in the ice/snow to install it.Better than a puddle of melted ice/snow i geuss.

its getting real old, woke up to snowing and 1'' on the ground now its 50 outside I guess we're on the right track, this has been one of the worst winters in a long time !!

24 degrees here thru Sunday. We just got another three inches, my truck comes tomorrow, I hope all that Chevy Corvair propaganda was wrong, I'll never get it up the driveway!!
