Ilive in Pittsburgh, PA and mine is also asleep for the winter. I travel a lot for work so I just might be out of town until mid December. That would not be a good time to do the bad deed. She is filled, covered and put on life support until probably April.

My vette and the wifes Sky always go into storage around NOV 1st. I usually take the cars over to the stoarge building and bring back the snowmobiles

Some of us Northern guys are just crazy enough to keep driving it through the entire winter! 
I honestly think I would go insane if I didn't drive my C5 for 3 or 4 months (or in the case of the original poster, 6 brutally long months, which is way too early to have put it away!). I know that my car isn't 100% perfect thanks to the ravages of winter, but it still looks good enough that a lot of people think it's a brand new Corvette.

Jumping the gun a little arn't you ? We haven't had any snow or ice, there's frost warning for tonight, but hell If I can't run the because of a frost warning then why am I paying on the insurance for? I'm at the other side of the state, but we don't get any ice, snow till December and then the Brine and Salt trucks roll. I don't run the car till bring/saltwater goes down.

As long as the roads aren't wet in the winter and there isn’t too much dust from salt I will take the car out for a drive. Last year the most it sat w/o at least a 10-20min cruise was 4 weeks. Heck we had 5’’ of snow yesterday and since the roads weren’t wet I went for drive today.

Well when i covered her up it said it was going to rain all this week so i guess the weather forcast changed.But i have not seen another vette on the road here for a week.Every year i have had her i always cover her up about this time of the year maybe you guys are right it is a little to early to cover her up should have waited another week but its done already so i will leave her covered till spring.
