I am mounting Winter Force on 18" Heritage this week.

I have 4 18" all seasons for sale that were never driven on.

those pirellis really dont like the cold, but neither do i so we make a good match. My car will definitly not be outside for winter.
No matter how much you prep your car, it takes one idiot to write off your car. I know it can happen in the summer, but the chances of it happening in the winter is like 100x more. Im sure the camaro will do well with good snow tires ie Blizzaks or scorpions, just be carefull guys, theres some real bad drivers out there, especially in Brampton

your absolutely right about brampton... insurance companies dont like brampton

I had the oil and filter changed, over inflated the tires by 3-4 psi, filled up the gas tank, put stabilizer in the gas tank, washed and waxed it and tucked my Camaro under it's car cover for the winter this past Saturday. Even on nice winter days there will be salt on the roads so I won't be taking it out until all the salt is gone from the roads. I plan on starting it every week or two and moving it up and down the driveway making sure the tires are in a different spot when I park it. I am hoping for April 1st to have it back on the road. I kept fire and theft insurance on it and will drive my 2005 Pontiac G5 for the winter. It is going to be a long 4 months but will be like driving a new car in the spring!

Phil,

I belong to the (VCCC) with 105 local members and a few 1000 more across Canada.

Some own dozens of cars. They will not go out and start them in the dead of winter in CANADA.

Benifits do not out weigh the negatives.

When I park my 72 with fresh oil ..thats it until it can be driven and up to and then maintain operating temp for 30 minutes.

Block it if you want the tires off.
