What did you do with your car over the winter?

**snaggeltooth** · 03-09-2007, 05:59 PM

**Zboner** · 03-09-2007, 06:06 PM

PLease tell me where you live in Pennsylvania that they use salt on roads, LOL. I live up near the NY border and the only salt on the roads up here has to fall off the NY State cars as they come into PA!! The roads up here SUCK when it gets shitty out!

Drove mine. gonna wash it tommorow because its not gonna rain for like a week after that. which is like a miracle down here.

Drove mine most of the winter til I got my newest beater. She is dirty as hell, but I have a detail scheduled for her later this month

Than I'll put the car cover on her and drive her on nice days when I can take out the t tops

**nhraformula** · 03-10-2007, 08:28 AM

gonna jump mine today
im not taking the car out of the garage though, still salt on streets

One thing I don't understand is the people that store the car for some of the winter and still drive on the nice days. There still is lots of salt all over the roads. So what's the point of storing it at all? If you take it out every couple of weeks in the salt covered roads why not just drive it all winter? I can see not driving in much snow or ice, but other than that. My Corvette is put away when the first flake of snow fly's and isn't out until after the street sweepers clean up the roads and a few good hard rains. I make sure salt comes no where near it! To me that's the main point of having it stored in the winter.

Sold it and bought a Trailblazer.

***doberman 152*** · 03-11-2007, 05:44 AM

Drove everyday, no snow in florida

**hamburger68** · 03-11-2007, 06:56 AM

just came back from a drive with my girl, open t-tops, blue skies. spring finally got here!

**my5thNewUsernameHere** · 03-11-2007, 08:00 AM

Mine is hibernating in the car hold, though I did fire it up recently for an oil change.

**SexOnWheels** · 03-11-2007, 08:43 AM

Before I went to the movie (300) I met up with a guy from Cowtown (Calgary about 2 hours north of me) and bought a new XXL racing suit.

It does fit but I have to admit I look like the blue Power Ranger in it.

The G/F took pictures of me 'modeling' it when she sends them to me I can post them up, I guess.

**GOT1GOAT** · 03-11-2007, 01:18 PM

I drove it and it drives pretty good in the snow with more than half of my tire tread gone. Kick ass tc on these goats and it kicks the crap out of my wife's Linc. Mark VIII's tc.
That being said, I still don't know how it will handle in anything deep like 6".

**Daniel P.** · 03-11-2007, 06:51 PM

Parked since early december in a small shed with no door, cover kept blowin off (doesnt fit right cause of ground f/x) and dad's pet turkeys jumped on the hood a couple times. got it out friday for first time in too long. Washed it found some scratchs from those damn turkeys, hopefully they will buff out, I got 12 coats of liquid glass. When I started it friday I got goosebumps, its been a while since that happened, I almost had forgotton how much I love my car.

I live in the Denver metro area. We do not use Salt.
I do not "Store" it, since we usually have a nice day or two through the winter.

I will start it up and move it a little when the snow is bad
