I stored my '10 SS for the first 2 winters and watched it depreciate. Now I just drive
it in the winter when the roads are dry. Cold doesn't hurt a car and these Camaros
don't rust like the old days. 7 years later and 45,000 miles and not a scratch or dent.
I'm not saving this car for anyone. Life's too short imo.

The joys of living in Florida where we only have about a month combined of cold weather and no snow anywhere in sight.

I put the fuel stabilizer in, Arm and Hammer fridge boxes inside and in trunk. However, I do start her up every 2 weeks or so and, if dry out, we go out for a short spin. Got to keep them running now and then. That way I don't have to worry about disconnecting the battery or running a trickle charge on it. I like the idea of dryer sheets under the hood. As far as mice, I have three cats that I let in the garage (cover on car), so they better earn their keep.

I drive mine all winter, but I live in the South and today it's 78 degrees.

Don't start it up unless your going to drive it for at least 1/2 hour out on
the road. Just starting it up for 5 minutes does more harm than good.

You can make fun of us all summer when it's 110+ degrees...but we're getting into prime weather now! So glad I don't have to shovel sunshine!

This is the first year I'm actually looking forward to parking mine because I'll be installing my AGP TT kit. Although that probably will not take me long and I'll be itching to drive it the rest of the winter.

where I live isn't in an urban area, the roads are not maintained well enough for me to risk screwing up my ride. let the 07 trail blazer do the heavy lifting from December til mid march. I hate putting her away but in the spring I feel happy I did it. winter gives me time to plan and accumulate what I need for the spring detail and other modes. I park it because I can and because I want to keep her for a long long time
