Same here. We don't really get snow here in Arkansas but if we do then it's only for a few days. I always use my mom's car if so.

Officially washed up the daily driver... grrr Kinda makes me want to move to texas or florida better weather and much lower taxes :P

Agree with all who hate winter. My baby is home today we are expect 1-3" of that white stuff this afternoon.

Heading to VA and NC for vacation next week so I promised him he'd be at the beach next week. Once we get back I'm sure there won't be many more days to drive before the snow comes and stays and he'll be in the garage for hte winter.

To those of you in the warmer states....darn....can't find a smiley sticking out his tongue...lol. Hoping some winter soon to join you!

I look forward to the cooler weather, my car actually runs the way it's suppose too run.

Hollywood2010 · 10-27-2011, 09:11 AM

I prefer to keep my tires on big squares of carpeting. Helps keep moisture off the disc brakes.

Kurushio · 10-27-2011, 01:16 PM

I change the oil before winter and then i just dont drive it after it snows. Then during the winter i will go out and start it and let it run for a little while and move it about a little bit. You shouldnt need anything special for the battery if you just start it up every 3 weeks.

Exactly- I drive my Camaro in the winter as long as the roads are dry. I now have all season tires so there's no reason not to. I kept a daily driver but the SS is just too much fun to drive to put away for several months imo.

I ordered a set up blizzak's on 17's, and got some weathertech floormats. I also put a nice coat of wax on, I cant wait to see how these tires perform. I live in the snow belt area of NE Ohio, and the first major storm we get I will be taking my Camaro out for a stroll!

Ok so it's snowing here now.

Bah...I live in Seattle and drive mine year-around. Hell, driving in the rain can be fun! Driving in the snow can be as well if you have the right tires. Probably will never drive it if chains are needed, but I've driven with no problems in 3-9" of snow on the roads out here.

Lightweights!

race29 · 10-28-2011, 07:51 AM

I'll post some later. Forgot the camera this morning to post during the day. We got about 3" overnight and more alot more scheduled for Sat night. They're talking a Nor'Easter for MA. We are getting out of dodge Sat morning head to the Outer Banks just in time.

It's not the snow it's the salt and sand on the car. The snow's a piece of cake.
