Mine goes into the cave for hibernation this week. Those that don't live in the states with nasty winter months will never understand the impact of what the Michigan roads and winter months will do to your ride. It's not pretty!!

I fear that this weekend might be the time for me to do mine as well. There is fresh snow in the mountains, and it keeps getting colder. I just find it funny that the only car in our family with heated seats will be in "Dry Dock" for winter.

There are cities that can't afford salt or cops or firemen or anything. Its sad, very sad.

Hell, a snowflake shows its face where I live and the air raid sirens go off and the roads are shutdown. Children are pulled from school and rushed into shelters and people screaming in the streets.

Seriously. Almost.
I'd move to another state too if it were an option.

I feel sorry for you guys that have to put Camaro up for the winter.

Tarp helps to keep moisture from concrete from building up on the under carriage of the car. Also gives the tires something slightly softer than concrete... may not even make a difference for flat spotting, but we'll see in a few months I guess.

Get 2" pink foam board insulation from home depot and have them cut it into pieces for you. It will mold around the tires ~ no flat spots

I put it in and take it out, put it in and take it out, wait.. what are we talking about?

As long as I can get it washed with out freezing my hands off I'll keep her out. Last year I waited until Thanksgiving!

I couldn't see paying this much for a car and not moving it for such an extended period of time.

Maybe if it was an exotic car, but not for a Chevy. (Ok, I'd store a ZR1, that would be the only Chevy)
