I hate it for you guys that only drive yours a few months

It started snowing here Dec 1 and has not stopped...

I moved my baby out once for a photo, and had to get neighbors to come and help push it in... The 275/40R-20's won't grip.....

maybe I'll take your advice and go get it out... Its in the "garage" "behind the covered RV trailer" in the last photo.....

Although I do wish I had a garage to put Ruby in instead of just a carport, I just do not know how you guys can stand going so long without driving your Camaros. Especially given the way these cars love to go fast when the air is cold! Guess us V6 folks do have a few advantages over V8's...like all weather tires!.

Beautiful Sunny day here in the 50's already, but no Camaro driving for me, the roads are all wet from all the melting snow and still full of the sand and salt.

You wouldn't drive it everyday in this weather, unless you wanted to watch it go down the road on a hook. Why do I park mine for 4 months? Because I can. And this summer it will still look brand new while all those winter drivers will look like they've been driven through a media blaster. Salt doesn't roll off the road just because it's sunny for one day. See ya in the spring

You got that right! I think I had maybe 5 or 6 days mine stayed home due to the brine spray they use here. The rest of the time it's driven every day.

finish my two day driving spree, washed her thoroughly and tucked her away :o) she looks awesome and I like to think we both are better for it. Might take her out again monday if the weather continues above normal. And yes she loves cool air, almost expect the asphalt to buckle under her rear tires, she really digs in when it's like this!!

If you take care of your car....even in the winter....it can look brand new. I can, but don't park any of my cars....because I can afford to

To each his own.
