Well, I just got back from putting the car to bed for the winter. How many of you guys (and girls) out there are still putting your cars down for their long sleep?

This week, earliest ever in 7 years.

SSMY1LE · 10-24-2017, 01:13 PM

Outlaw77 · 10-24-2017, 01:38 PM

Mike14bumblebee · 10-24-2017, 02:23 PM

I really don’t have the time to get my car winterized. I gotta mow grass tomorrow, then go to a car show at 5. Then Saturday there’s this holloween car thing then we’re headed to the beach on Sunday... etc etc.

Yeah, but we get the luxury of sitting at home in front of the TV being entertained by that freak ice/snow storm that hit the deep south and seeing the clueless pirouetting in 360s down the street before they smash into a guard rail.

Oh hell yeah, that happens every 10 years or so and the rest of us with common sense are laughing right along with you. But the following weekend we go to another cruise in while you’re still sitting in front of that TV.

Put Thumper to rest on Sunday, were from Wisconsin, it's going to snow

Cyrus · 10-25-2017, 01:33 PM

I'm not putting mine in storage till the temp is consistently in the single digits. That and my grass is still growing hard to even think about it.

Hixson · 10-25-2017, 02:11 PM

Not from Canada, but the state of Iowa just stopping by. Hit 39 degrees this morning. Its getting close. Will be putting the car to rest in a couple weeks, want to squeeze out all the drive time I can. Sad to have to put our favorite shit away for months :(

Cyrus · 10-25-2017, 02:54 PM

The best part about driving the Camaro at this time of year is very little bugs to clean off the front bumper and windshield. My XM radio sub doesn't expire till Nov 16 so I'd like to drive till then.

rontammy0 · 10-25-2017, 05:34 PM

Till the first snow comes. ..or steady rain. Then it goes in the garage under cover till spring. Likely in tbe next week or 2. Im Cuba for a week starting Nov 11 so it will be done for sure by then.

SquawkVFR · 10-25-2017, 07:52 PM

Do y’all do any mods during the winter? Maybe some major projects? Sounds like a good time to install an MGW shifter or a take all the seats out and detail the carpets, run some wiring stuff like that.
