Couldnt take it any more! SS out of storage! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So yeah. I know its still "winter" but here in CT we have had no snow for weeks. And the forecast looks great! 50* tomorrow?! I had the SS in storage and was driving the beater (ford), until the water pump and/or head started pouring out coolant...i think the "fix or repair daily" applies to this poor car...but hey $600 was all she cost me...

Anyway, the drive home after 6-weeks of Camaro deprivation was amazing! So much more appreciation for Jewelie right now <3

I probably would have had mine out for the last week, but the dirt road I live on more closely resembles a Mud Drag pit....so the Camaro sits.

You shouldn't have ever locked her up!

Im with you man.. I am so ready to break out BAUCE. We have had flurries here in Maryland, but nothing too severe. As far as the beater you're driving, treat her good because I am certain a blizzard is on the way.

NME · 02-06-2012, 09:33 AM

Ha! I know, I told my wife that I probably jinxed it...

But for now, it figures that the winter I buy a beater car, it doesnt even snow!

You can thank that whole global warming 'myth.'

Which is a misnomer and should be called global 'destabilization.' The weather extremes will be coming fast and furious as we warm the Earth. Enjoy your ride, as I am here outside of Philly, but prepare for sudden blizzards too.

This. my dirt road is still half ice and the other half is gravel that sticks to cold tires and gets slung all over the place.

Yea it's been 2 months for me now since I drove my car and it's killing me lol the weather here in Toronto/Canada is all over the place. It"s mostly clear and dry but then once a week or so we get snow. I have my car on comprehensive coverage and my battery is out the car, so it's not really worth it for me to switch insurance and to put the battery back in just for a ride... The wait is gonna be worth it, can't wait for the first drive in the spring.

I did the same thing last week. It was only put away for a little over a month and couldn't take it anymore.
