Default Its hibernation time again

For all cf members who store their car or cars in winter time, here's a last look before the "toys" are "put to sleep". Any other cf members who want to share their last look at their car or cars before they are "put to sleep" would be great! Can't wait till spring!!!!

Say it isn't so! I'm hoping to get another few months of driving in. Not until salt or snow hits the roads with she go into hibernation.

Funny but mine goes into hibernation for the summer when I go to my summer home in Vermont for five months. It just came out of the garage today, first time since May

You're putting yours away for the winter, and I'm putting my top down for the winter!

Not ready to put mine away yet. Should have about a month and a half of driving weather left. Nice rides you have - has to be hard to have to let them sit for so long in the garage.

Even here in southern Kentucky I drive mine all winter as long as the roads stay clear and that's most of the time.

No sympathy here.
No sympathy here my friend...I will be putting my babies to sleep soon too, for their loooong winter sleep. Like having new vehicles every spring!? Greetings, Rob

Why do people put their corvettes away in the winter? Snow? Or just cold? I don't see why the cold would be an issue. Snow I could see if you're in an area with a lot. Mine's a year around car... no breaks for me.

It's the salt and other products they use to remove the snow from the roads. Very corrosive to under carriage.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing those. 2 more months before storage, depending on the road salt.

Mine will only be going down long enough so I can help her breath a little better when she wakes up.
