Lol, my 73 Camaro used to sit outside under a cover during the MI winters. Until I did a restoration and bought a home with a garage.

LOL, we, mostly, don't either but:
A snow bank 20 ish feet deep (street to hydrant) and over 6' high. (By snowplow) This was 2014, a spectacular winter. Last Winter, nothing.

From: About 1100 miles from where I call home.
I was driving a '71 Challenger in 1978 the day of The Blizzard. I actually called in sick and when I woke up later in the day the snow was a couple inches from the roofline of the Challenger sitting in the driveway. And my Dad had gotten stuck on Rte 128 outside Boston. Ugh.
Yesterday I took the '69 for a drive seeing how it was 57 and very sunny. It was so friggen cold I pretty much turned around in 5 minutes, washed the car, parked it in the corner of the garage with the battery cut off and put it to bed for the winter. Goodnight, 2016.

Thanks JR73, I was only 19 and had a blast with it, but then a wife , baby became a priority and my first corvette became a house. But I still got the pictures.
