Click the cardomain link in my sig. The pics were pretty bad, but I just recently trimmed and updated some of them. It's about time for me to wash the car and take some more too...

Yeah, it's really cold here too. I've abandoned my plan to wash the Retta for the time being. It is fine sitting in the garage.

Yep. My car was sitting in the yard, but I convinced my parents to let me put it in the unused part of our garage. We have a two car garage, but we usually only park one car in it. Now we use that extra space for the Beretta.

must be nice. i kno alot of ppl who have garages but none of them will let me use them to work on my car, i need to get new tires, change all the major gaskets, drain all the fluids and refill, basically winterize my car. do u have a problem with ur beretta not getting warm by itsself unless u give it like half an hour at idle? with mine i have to sit in it about 10 minutes just holding it up around 2K and then i finally get warm air. just wondering if u have the same problem.

My car takes a little bit to warm up when it's really cold, but it usually has no problem blowing out hot air. And I do mean HOT. My heater kicks arse.

Nope. You should pick up a Haynes repair manual for the Beretta/Corsica. They're at Autozone for sure, I dunno where else.

i have both in my basement but for all of the other cars we have had and got rid of. all i care about is it warming up in winter and everyone i have talked to said to get a hotter thermo. so ill try that and if that dont work ill go from there.
