This will be the first Winter for me having my Camaro. Like to hear from other North East owners on if they plan on Storing there car, using there car as a Daily Driver or somewhere in between.

It's going to be my first winter too and my Camaro is my Daily Driver.

I'm buying a set of 17" wheels/tires. Haven't decided yet if I want the Blizzak or Pirelli Scorpion Snow & Ice to replace the stock 20" P-Zeros

It will be something like this except this year I have Toyo Proxies on it so I'll prolly take her out from time to time.

My beast doesn't get to play in the rain. I put midnighter away for the winter. (purchased 11 months ago, has 4,305 miles today)

Mine has less than 600 miles on it so it'll be in the garage for the winter. When the roads get sprayed with brine, I won't take it out any more until Spring. The Jeep gets to handle the bad weather, the only bummer is parking the Jeep outside and getting into a cold vehicle every day.

Mine has 2100 on her. She is not a Daily Driver and doesn't see rain so I wouldn't take her out in the snow either.

How do you guys and girls plan on storing your cars this winter? I read a lot of different takes on this topic.

I put mine in my family's big barn type garage with cement floor. I throw on the GM race striped car cover, and leave a battery charger hooked up to charge it once a month or so. I also set a few D-con boxes in there so that the mice that seek refuge in the garage for the winter don't snack on the car's wiring.

Undecided, snow days I will drive my wife's Jeep or buy a beater Jeep... I don't think we'll have as bad of winter as last year.

mine are sleeping for the winter

2nd winter for me...bought snow tires and 18" rims last yr...time to put them back on for this winter...
There is NO WAY I could put my baby away for the winter...I wouldn't smile or dance if I couldn't drive my HWAY STR all yr round....
Here's a photo with the winter tires taken last year...not too bad, right?...
Beats the alternative...I don't have an extra car to drive...the Camaro is my daily driver...

Got Pirelli Scorpion and Ice's for the stock RS rims. Gonna give it a shot, see what happens.
