Default H3 Gets a New Stable Mate

The H3 Lost its tent spot to my 65 Vette...Now the New vette..09 takes over the house garage. Looks like the 3 is out for the winter.

How many of you leave your 3 out in the weather 365..??

Yeah for me it's a trip to the Spray wash joint to blast off the winter gack every 7-10 days. I never rub the paint with a cloth in the winter. I just wash the salt off with the high pressure water at a long distance from the paint. And if thier is any dirt that won't come off with the spray... Then it stays till it's warm and I can usea cloth towel to wash it by hand. I have wax on the body for the winter.

Yes, my red H3 has been outside for the last 2 years. Rain, sun, snow etc. I try to wash it weekly or after big snowstorms to keep the salt off.

But thats about to change. Buying a house! And it has a garage.

NO, We deal with the CRAZZY's all year long...I went to a local "Battle of the Bands" (rock & roll, 50's, 60's & 70's) and the writer Dave Barry was the MC...

Nice ride! Not a Z06 or Blue Devil (whatever it's called in production)...? My buddy got one of those Z06s a little over a year ago, and man...wow! But then again, I'm used to driving a Subaru wagon, and even my H3 is so much faster and more fun than that Subaru...

Z06 ..get's you carbon fiber fendors and reduced weight ....non removeable carbon fiber roof .. plus about 100 more HP.. It's made to race. But it stickers for about $80 G's..

The Blue Devil is Super charged and pumps out 638 HP. Sticker $103,000.00.
Dealer asking price ...????? Way over $103K. And you have to know some one to get one.

I'd rather drive my 3 any day of the week. Long out of state cruz trips are in the 09 Vette. Local Hot Rod Shows in the 65 BB502.

In other words ... I love the Crap out of my H3

Thanks Frenzy,
Can't take the money with you... Spend that chit while you can and enjoy life. That's what the H3 and Off Road-en is all about also. It is time for me to cash out and burn up as much oil as they can pump out of the ground..!!!

Gas..$15.00 a Gallon...No "F" Problem...I'm Drive-en my Chit..!! Besides.. the 09 can get 32 MPH on the highwy in 6th gear!!! and That ain't no poop.!!

My mission now in life is to burn up as much gas as I can.. So. Pump that gack...I'll Burn it.

Thanks's Guy... If you look in the pic I posted in the first post you'll see that I do have a "Cover-It" Tent thingy.. The 65 Vette I also own is now living in there. Ain't no room on the property for another Tent...unless I block my circular driveway.

Just some good old Carnaba Wax and a good pressure wash on the 3 once a week to keep the salt and road gack off and she'll be fine. I do wish I had a Gee-rage for the 3 but it's looking great after 2 years.

My H3 stayed outside.....even during Hurricane Ike.



The garage is reserved for my 1962 Boston Whaler which is a little more fragile and has paid its dues to get preferential treatment.

Fortunately, the H3 avoided any damage, unlike the Suburban across the street, that got crunched in half by a huge tree.

Dam Spuds..!! You were lucky..Looks like some big trees in the area near the H3. Of course..If a tree had fallen on the 3..the 3 wood have split it in half..

.....if so I would have taken my insurance check down to the dealer and gotten an H3T........

But its impossible to replace a nearly 50 year old Whaler.
