No such problem here in Florida. What I don't understand, as I see these post ever year, is why do you put your baby to bed if the weather is still not bad? I think I read one post here today that said not until the first snow. I also read on another post that said they only put theirs away wheb the was snow and salt on the road.

Oh well its to bad you will miss the fun during the winter months. I am off to a GM/Corvette and Ford/Mustang show this weekend.

Nice pics, looks like it has a good home for the winter. I won't rub in my 365 days of Vette driving weather like others have done.

Nice pic! My condolences though. I get withdrawal symptoms if I go on vacation for a week w/o driving the vette. To go without for months would be very difficult!

Mine is in hibernation in the garage along with 2 Cadillac Allantes covered to keep the wind , rain and salt in the air with this tropical storm Noel off the coast of Florida and the Caribbean. It has been gale force winds here in the Daytona Beach area the past few days and I live on the river and 2 blocks from the beach and salt is all over everything. My business car sits outside and it needs a bath badly. So it is not always the "Sunshine State".

Won't be long before mine goes in hibernation too. But should still have a few more weeks left.

I wish I could move further south, but being Canadian I'm as far south as I can live - Legally anyway. I do come down to Florida twice a year though for a few weeks. Might have to rent a Vette next time I'm down to get over the withdrawal.
