Default Has everyone "officially" parked their rides away for the Winter?

People at work think I am a bit crazy driving my car in mid November. Can't help it, the weather has not been so bad. (besides want to brerak in motor further) Anyone else still driving?

I agree, unless you have a "fix" for the Winter blue's... Hopefully is not a long Winter.

Not stored yet. Heat is on in the garage though so it's staying warm.

Mine goes away the end of this month. Insurance comes off for the first time, as I've always left it on in the off chance I get to drive it on nice days.

It's never happened, plus the savings from removing the vette insurance pays for the whole year sled insurance

I'm saddened -- I don't want to put it away.

I Just can't bear the idea of cruising around in my Elantra..

Still driving it and loving every minute.

I never take the insurance off mine, plenty of dry sunny days during the winter to take advantage of!

Both of my cars are away for the winter


































Boy you guys are gulible!



My cars never really go to sleep ... they nap during the really nasty storms ... but once the plows get out there, and the roads are clear and dry ... then it's time to get out there for some "Therapy"

not like it's a priceless collectable,,, it's JUSTAKAR!!
I keep mine at my folks just up the road, so I can keep my DD inside.
Nothing worse than scraping windows at 6am everyday.
So ya I take it out anytime the roads are clear and the sun is
shining. The insurance stays on..

My two boys are tucked away in the garage for the winter, but because it is heated and air conditioned, I do get to work on them and babysit them while they rest.

If it wasn't for the dreaded salt, I may just keep mine insured year round. There are plenty of snow free days, but never salt free once they start it. Salt is NASTY, and yes I know Vettes are plastic, but the underside isn't, neither are my wheels. It will go to sleep in a secret location sometiem this week.

My driving substitute in winter is just about every car game for the PS3. (the newest NEED FOR SPEED comes out tomorrow WHOWHOO!!!!!
