Must be a Michigan thing - I never put Stabil in any of my engines - boat, lawnmower or lawn equipment, and cars. Just half a tank of fresh, quality gas and I've never had any problems. The one time I did put it in a mower, I had to fix the carb afterwards.

Yeah, it's funny(but really not) when I didn't expect rain and a few drops start falling, if I'm close to home, I try to get my Camaro into the garage ASAP. If I'm far away, I'm screwed and it will take an hour to pull into the garage, use the drying towel and air cannon. Gotta do it because those water spots can cause problems big time.

Not at all. I'm working towards having a seasonal car and ideally it would be a C2 Vette. I'd still daily the Camaro.
It's about once a year a heavy dump of snow isn't cleared in time for my drive to work and it's a bit dicey. I keep a shovel in the trunk and keeping momentum is key in the deep stuff.

Nice!! Speaking of winter storage, anybody have any experience with solar battery chargers? Our RS will be tucked into a commercial storage unit w/out power. Considering a solar trickle charger mounted with magnets to the building.

Well, I guess the cover goes on. But, if it melts and they don’t salt/brine, she’ll be back out. Pretty though, isn’t it? Yea...right!

I agree George. Just wishful thinking on the bringing it back out part. Who knows.

That’s just downright disgusting!
In 2020 (the porta-potty fire that it was) we got our first snow a couple days before Halloween, luckily we are still in the 50-60’s so far this year. Not that it matters lol, havent drove blue in a month.

Yep.
Formerly from the rust belt of N.E. Ohio.

But it does snow once a year here just to remind me what it looks like.
Half inch of white stuff and they shut everything down!

Yea, when my dad was in the Army and got stationed all over, we were everywhere that snow could possibly be, even Germany 5 times, so yea I can safely say I'm over it!! Being the only male in the family, I had to do all the shoveling!! Then he decided to retire here in Florida, but have seen snow here ONE time way back in the early 70's!!!
