When first snow falls and salt gets spread...then will take out once ALL salt is washed off the road. Sure will miss her!!! Guess I will have to open the garage and just sit in the drivers seat & look at her!

I dont have a garage so once it snows it just stays parked till after the snow and especially salt is gone.

I won't be putting mine away, she's my daily driver. Here's hoping winter isn't too bad this year...

I had mine put away last weekend when it was getting cold and rainey but brought it back out today because it is so nice out. I can't stop driving it. LOL I even have a 2010 Tahoe LTZ with only about 10,000 miles but I would still rather drive my Camaro. Go figure!!

Put on my set of Blizzaks last Saturday. I drive it in up to 3" of snow. If there's more than that, I drive my wife's AWD Equinox (she doesn't drive on snow over 3"). I could NOT be without my baby for 5 months (usual amount of time here in Colorado between first and last snowfall)!

i just drove mine today its in the 50s out side. engine feels great. but i will be putting it away when it gets to November. i can see why people put it away though. when its really cool you cant even have fun with the car. you get no traction. its also kind of fun to store a car, and get excited to take it out again. it keeps the car feeling newer when you get back into it.

i also get annoyed by threads like this because, people who live in warm areas also have to say how they don't have to store there car. cool, and thanks for the info. i hope you don't have to store a car in texas or florida. and it waste my time having to read them. and its not helpfully toward the thread whats do ever.

sorry for venting.

are you putting any fuel stablizer in. I was told that the new fuel can go bad in a short amount of time, like even a month. it is because of the amount of ethynol in it. look for a stablizer that is specific for the ethynol.
