When the snow comes in the heated garage it goes. Sta-bil in the tank. start every month in winter.

Didn't store mine until the first of this year so probably going to do the same if the weather holds up. Don't think I'll take it to work in the morning cause it will be a little too cold. This will be my second winter with it so will give it one more good cleaning before I store her. The question will be when.

Just put the car away yesterday. I like to get it safely stored before the snow comes and the salt that surely follows. Very sad that she will not come out until at least next May. Such a long time.��

One of the few remaining perks to living in California. Ok, maybe that was a bit harsh but at least you can drive the Camaro all winter...if we have one. I've had a Camaro of one kind or another since March or 2012. Neither have been driven in the rain. I know, it's a sickness.

I let mine roam aslong as the roads are good enough. It gets a weekly underbody wash though during the winter to help fight any possible rust.

The only thing I don't like about winter is less day light.

I know the super mild winter we had 4-5 years ago I didn't tender my Camaro til around the second week of January, then when I did it was only down 6 weeks, which is nothing compared to the normal 12-14 weeks. sure hope this one is mild but, the way I read it, the weather experts seem to think it will be mild the first half, and the second half they are not real sure about, they assume it could be snowier the last half but they really don't know for sure. talking most about the mid Atlantic and north east.

Avenging Orange · 10-18-2015, 06:06 PM

Put mine up every winter. Simply park it in the garage till spring. Always fires right up.
Got put away early this year cause I got sick. But I'll probably drive it on dry sunny days this winter since I had to put her away in August.

CamaroinCLE · 10-18-2015, 06:29 PM

Nope, just ordered my Snow tires/rims. its been 20 years since my last Camaro and I plan on loving every minute rain/shine/snow or other. Unless its really bad and roads are impassable she will do just fine. First 3 cars were RWD so i know the routine.

Chaotic73 · 10-18-2015, 06:43 PM

I didn't pay to have it sit half the year. Will put my winter rim/tire setup on in a few weeks and drive it as long as the roads are passable.

Tbar · 10-18-2015, 07:06 PM

We only average snow about 3 times a winter. I only live five miles to work and have my wife drive me and pick me up if the roads get salted. Most everything shuts down as the schools close if there is an inch. To bad I'm a letter carrier.

What is this "snow" you speak of?

It seems to be getting more common around here now. Granted, we still don't get much compared to the rest of the US. I'll be driving my trusty-rusty Chevy Cobalt while the Camaro kicks back in the garage again.
