Does it snow every day in PA?
I never put mine away for the winter. There are too many decent days not to drive her! It's not a DD, but the idea of not getting to drive her for 5-6 months would be unbearable!

Mine may not see as much road time during the winter, but it will get out when the weather is nice. Better the white of my Corvette on the road than the white of snow.

I have to get mine to the dealer for oil changes. I normally do my own at the end of November then put them away. But today in only the 10th of October, it snowed for awhile at lunch time. I have four free changes coming from the dealer this year, but I don't want to do the 40 mile round trip in bad weather.
Overnight it is going to set an all time record low for this date of 22 deg.
Is there any doubt left that c02 is not warming us up?
I hope we hit a warm trend in the next few weeks to go on our annual leaf colors trip. If the weather keeps this up, I will do the services myself and use the free ones next year

Longest I have gone without driving mine was eight days in 2006!
I was in Alaska Fishing in August for those eight days!
Don't know how you northern guys do it!

I plan to put mine away Halloween weekend. It seems just like yesterday that it was April and I was so excited about taking it out of storage. It's gotten pretty cold here the last couple of nights and I brought all of my car cleaning supplies in from the garage yesterday so I don't have to worry about them freezing.

Ok make me feel bad you guys and gals in florida and california are lucky you get to drive your cars for 12 months unless it rains.My husband is retired and it is awful when i have to put my car to asleep for the winter because it is my one enjoyment driving that car because it gets me away from my husband who is here all the time driving me crazy.When i drive my car i am in another world of peace and calm and enjoyment now for 6 months i am stuck with you know who which gives me none of those.I mean i can get out i use his car but the feeling in the honda is not the same as in my.

Has the weather turned that bad this early in PA? I'll be putting mine up in about a month and a half, so I know how you feel.

Too early I agree... I keep driving it until late November/ early December depending on when it first snows... Don't like to drive it in the rain but still better than not driving it at all....
