Winter is officially here in Ontario Canada when the car is on dollies and pushed off to the side of the garage.(very envious of you guys south of us!)

Car looks great there tho...
I'm in the same situation here in Ontario. Just too much snow, sand, and salt to risk taking the car out.
But, come December 21st, the days start getting longer...
Just spent an hour scraping 2" of what looked like crusty snow, but turned out to be compacted sleet/snow/rain/God knows what else, off the driveway.
You'll have to go a lot further south than me to get out of this mess.
If I could only get the extended family to move to the Bahamas.....
Hey, Bob I think like you, we'll soon be seeing more daylight come the new year!
Yes. We will have to have a meet up come Spring.

Ugly thought but this coming to a driveway near me...but it will afford a sprint to Flagler beach, St. Pete's Beach and Key West in February.

So you could drive in circles? Islands sound so romantic-- but for a flatlander, they're almost claustrophobic.
Kalifornia sounds pretty nice, though...

Dave: If you need a few more pounds to weigh down that trailer, I'm available. Those Roadster seats are quite comfortable for a long trip. Just stop once and awhile for food and washroom breaks.
Kalifornia is nice....low taxes, no natural disasters, friendly DMV, CHP that wave and say hello..I rarely see another car on fwy..abundant electricity...I could go on and on..
I have the silver/grey HF 1500 # ones. I can spin the car around or slide it side ways easily. I like the ease of the ones with the built in jacks but they are heavier and considerably more expensive.
Hi Michael, bought these @Princess Auto in Canada (made by Powerfist, their brand name) 2000LB capacity ,steel castors; a little overkill buy roll very nicely, high quality.
I have for years got away with the el-cheapo HF wood frame furniture dollies. They have me in very handy moving Projeck Spyder round the shop. Buy the metal ones, is my advice.
A few years ago I made a video of Cory 'Hoopty Pilot' Drake positioning his car with dollies.
I didn't know Cory played with dollies.

They’re action figure boards.
Cory did have a bunch of Barbie heads, one to represent each "ex" that wronged him, as a reminder. Whether he played with them or not I really don't know.
The Harbor Freight metal car wheel dollies work GREAT and are inexpensive, I think I paid $40 a pair on sale, and have 4 of them. I also jack up my lift and put it on the dollies to slide it over out of the way when I'm not using it. The lift weighs 950 pounds, and rolls around easily with the dollies.
I also have the inexpensive HF that were $40/pair. They work great!
