waxed and detailed the car and detailed the interior, locked up, and hooked it up into battery tender. It is officially winter and the car is now officially in storage for winter. Midwest living sucks

I can't wait to drive my car in the snow, if it even does this winter. We didn't get much snow last year in Dallas.

I got a 4x4 truck with 142k miles that I drive everyday and esp in winter. I get the car out on nice days if there is no salt or cinders on the road though.

My cammed car doesnt even like the road when it is a little wet or cold out. traction sucks with it and I doubt I could go an inch in the snow even with snow tires

Snowed here in Indy too, but the rest of the week is supposed to be nice. I'm going to tough it out a little longer.

I get mine out every chance I get in the winter, as long as the roads are dry. I'm in SW Illinois and I know winters up in central and northern IL are colder and have a lot more snow.

Mine just got put in the garage last week. There is supposed be snow tonight. It's no fun putting it up, but i'm sure it will make the day it's pulled back out that much sweeter.
