Lots of mutual interests here. Just changed the oil in the "Vette today to store for the winter. ' Hunted elk in the Selleway in '88. I see your bull lost his G-5 during the rut. I'm planning to install different wheels during the winter. I'd love to visit Yellowstone during the winter; thus far I haven't made it.

Got lucky last year and had mine out until the end of December...then got it back out March 22nd; 81 days later. I still have mine out and am hoping for another 2 months to go ...same as last year.

What I don't get is the guys who literally seal them away until Spring. Why not fire it up and take it out during the inevitable Indian summer? I know 99% of you don't get jack for snow anyway, I come from Munising MI. People drive quite a distance to snowmobile there because it tends to suck most other places. Here in CO I just wait until the snow melts and most of the dirt gets blown off the roads to bring it out in the winter. We don't get shjt for snow here in CO either. Up in the mountains they get a decent amount, but anywhere else is a joke.

You should come and visit Chicago area during January or February. They put so much salt on the roads that it literally turns them white. Actually, my car is one of my most prized possessions. I've spent a considerable amount of money on it over the years and don't want to subject it to the harsh winters we have. I have a very nice daily driver that gets me through the winter.

I remember in 1995 when I lived in NJ I had to get a full size desert storm Hummer to be able to drive around that winter in the snow. A lot of fun, but now I like the snowless Florida Vette driving better. I don't mind the gators or snakes, just the big tropical rainstorms and hurricanes every once in a while.
