Need HELP! Moving to Gilroy CA

[Sonar Chief]

Morning ... I have accepted a job offer in Gilroy CA and need recommendations for storing my 67 Camaro. Called around to storage units and they said they "can't store a non-op car on the grounds!" What? I have a quote from Reliable Carriers to get it there, just no place to put it inside outa sight!

Any recommendations? I am on a waiting list for house rentals, so it could be some time before I can put her in a garage. One moving company said I could leave the car on their truck and just pay storage for the whole truck ... so far best option!

Do they ask what you will be storing now days? I might be able to understand them saying that if the car was stored outside in the open, but what difference does it make in a garage? I think I would call around to different storage facilities and if they ask what you are storing just tell them car parts. Technically it would be true.

BTW, Congratulations on the new job!

I use a Public Storage indoor unit to store 4 cars and 2 motorcycles and have never had any issues with them about it.

Thanks guys ... this is the best news I've had all day, been a rough one ... had to put my 11 year old Great Dane down this afternoon. Bone cancer was taking it's toll on her quality of life and mine, so it was a hard decision but I'd like to think she's in heaven chasing squirrels right now!

Vince if you are sure you can spare space I would appreciate it ... I'm working w a property mngmt agency to rent in Gilroy or Hollister, I have to be at work SCRWA on April 4th.

Chief,
Condolences on your pup. We know they only go 10-15 years when we get them, yet it is so hard to lose them. It is hard to get another one right away, and hard not to.
Congrats on the new job & move. Boy, you got a plate full!

[clill]

There goes the neighborhood but welcome to the left coast. What is SCRWA ? Sorry about your Dane. Ours only live a little over a year and they are such sweethearts.

Thunderhill April 23-24.

[rustomatic]

Welcome to the other side--hope you like garlic!

Condolences on the doggy--a Great Dane living to 11 is like a human hitting 95. That dog had a nice, unusually long life, so there's something to be happy about there.

Thunderhill April 23-24.

I might be able to make Thunderhill that weekend, are you and Greg driving?

Baymont is pretty reasonable and right next to where we eat @ CASA RAMOS FTW! (Charlie and I stay at the Holiday Inn). You can watch Charlie get hammered on Tequila!! LOL

No charge to get in to the track! Track is 7 miles WEST of I-5 on hwy 162 (the main street that runs thru Willows and runs east and west. Head west and you can't miss the track - it'll be on the right side. Or just follow all the car trailers.

Sorry to hear about your dog Michael. We have one that concerns me, and I am feeling worse about it daily.

We were in the same town and never met. Two years until retirement and I will have some time to do whatever I want.

Best wishes on the new job, and safe travels.

You probably won't miss the white stuff!

You're just in time for the ultimate contrast in weather. Better still, you're now so close to Laguna Seca, that place where people race Camaros from time to time . . . Congrats on the move!

I live in San Ramon which is about an hour north of Gilroy. I was driving past Gilroy that day coming back from Monterey bay Aquarium.

While in Hollister look of Jardine's Mexican restaurant. Absolutely love that place!!

Thanks, haven't even looked for one ... I'm too used to going to Sonic when I get a craving for a green chile burger!

[cjsgarage]

There's so many of us in the San Francisco Bay Area we should make a day out of it. Maybe a cars and coffee one time. Or do our own little coffee run one morning.

Sonic in Gilroy too...but you already knew that,didn't you,lol? :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Michael, Good luck with the move and the new job. Sorry to hear about your big girl. I like the idea of using the shrink wrap on the car for the move. Just think no more cold winters to hold you up on your build. Good luck!

Thanks for the condolences, my girl is here with me in spirit. The shrink wrap helped a lot but some salt spray did get on the car from the open area between the ramps ... but I got er all cleaned up nice!

Heck yeah, no more winters to slow me down!!

[RdHuggr68]

Hey Michael, need your new email address, emails keep coming back. Looks like your having fun in the sun so I am sending you a picture of what your missing this weekend. WHITE SH-T!!! :waveflag:

[Sonar Chief]

Kevin ... everything is the same w email and phone. I don't miss that white stuff at all, almost got the garage sorted and organized the way I want, need to run new air line and dryer before I fire up the compressor.

Heading to Thunderhill Raceway next weekend ... that's gonna be cool!

Welcome to the left side Chief!

Thunderhill will be fun. It's a nice drive up there too.

Speaking of driving, how do you like those highway surface conditions and traffic.

Vince

[Sonar Chief]

Vince ... I've driven on better dirt roads then around here, traffic is annoying ... but hey as long as everyone behaves it seems to go ok, haven't been out and about much, just to and from work in Gilroy!

May take the scooter out and explore some today ...:RunninDog:
