Wait.... what...?

Ok lemme get this right.

As of this post, more people have a snowplow attached with tire chains ...

Than just use all season tires ??!!

One of the few, and I mean few, benefits of living in So Cal is no storing your car for winter.

Broke Pilot · 10-31-2014, 01:10 PM

Houston... Has its drawbacks but at least there's no 1LE hibernation unless we get one of those freak snow storms. However, the last 2 winters have been really bad for us...

Not a daily driver, we have 3 other vehicles. It only comes out in +40* and dry weather. 3850 miles since I picked it up 6/2/14. I had it out today in 42* temps/overcast and hit a road that is a favorite of a buddy of mine. He runs a Suzuki B-King and looks for "fun" roads. What a delight this car is. It is going to be a LONG winter!!

Obviously, I won't be putting a cover on it, my garage is part of my house foundation, and I'm in it everyday. Great to look at it daily, but it sucks to not drive it!

Heated, about 65*

HOJO · 10-31-2014, 03:11 PM

Drove her last weekend, temps were great. That has now come to an end, do not see it getting that warm again so she will be going to bed. She needs to be cleaned before putting on her blanket though.

I like that flooring in your garage. What is it called?

You put a tad bit more miles on yours than I did mine. And I plan to put in a similar baseboard heater like yours. Only difference is I will be using a car cover. It is dusty around here.

I got it here a few years ago,

http://www.genuinehotrod.com/itemgro...ad-coin-design

kinda expensive, but cleans up nice and looks great. I'm a bit of a neat freak. I watched the price for months and it went on sale, grabbed one. There are lots of places online that sell it, you might find a better deal elsewhere.

How many miles on yours?

Mark T · 10-31-2014, 04:41 PM

Officially put to bed as of now.

Just finished a full detailing.
Added a little extra air to the tires.
Battery tender connected.
Full tank of fuel.

Sleeping soundly with 3686 miles on her.

God it is going to be a long winter.

But tomorrow it is supposed to rain with chance of mixed snow.

It was time.

Just got to call Allstate and put her insurance in "Park" mode, and short of starting her up now and then, the long sleep till spring.

shippingguy · 10-31-2014, 04:42 PM

I am in SoCal so mine will only sleep when it is raining.

RockerBox · 10-31-2014, 05:55 PM

When I get mine it will be driven all year long in all types of weather.

You picked yours up two days before me and I only have 2180 miles on it! It's pretty much done for the winter also.

hcsi99 · 11-01-2014, 09:54 AM

She's already sleeping. I washed her last weekend in shorts and a t-shirt when it was 75 degrees. Yesterday it snowed about 1 inch.

lbls1 · 11-01-2014, 01:45 PM

I have a little time left here in NY; But the first snowflake means that the salt trucks are coming, which means that my lsx children are tucked away in bed 'till Spring.
