I haven't seen many outside of a few geckos here and there, actually. A friend of mine does have a bearded dragon though, those are pretty cool.


I do miss the water a little bit lol, but that brings rust with it...so I'm doing fine with just a little dust on the car!

I put my GN in the garage and leave the Camaro outside. What I don't like about garage storage is the damage the mice do the upholstery and wiring while the car sits for months on end. I have to replace the hood liner come spring and who knows if there are any varmints camping out inside of the seats. I don't get the rodents if I don't put the cars into the garage.

Good idea. I will put 1 decon at each tire and the a shovel and a garbage bag next to the car for clean up duty.

Place a few of these in your garage in the corners and close to the Buick. Bait them with peanut butter and dried fruit or raisins. The key is to put the bait on and UNDER the bait tang. Always several fist pumps when I get a confirmed kill!!!

Well, if the dog food is in the garage... no wonder why the car becomes the nest!

Florida has it fair share of mice, rats, gators and other rodents no normally found in cooler climates.

Took mine out this weekend a couple of times while the weather was still nice. It's officially gonna be parked until next spring. I did a oil change today and I'm getting ready to detail her all up, put her on the lift, pull the battery and throw the cover on. It's gonna be a long 5+ month wait no doubt.

That's about the worst thing you can do to any engine. Unless your going to drive it around for a 1/2 hour Let It Sit !
