Default "Pull key...wait 6 months"

This is gonna leave a mark on my brain...winter storage sucks...well, at least I can get around to the seat repair and other crap that I have been putting off. But that assumes I will be in the mood on a dreary, gray day in a heated garage that never seems warm enough. However, in April there will be that 'new car feeling' again....something to look forward to.

I feel your pain! Mine is done for the season, I'm in the process of detailing it prior to throwing the cover on. I love that "new car feeling" in April.

I know what you mean. Lived the first 40 years of my life in Minneapolis St. Paul, then moved to Arizona.

Looks like we're going to have another la nina year, which means a dry winter and a semi-mediterranean climate.

I envy your FAll, but definitely not your Winter.

At least you have something to look forward to in April.

Have a quick, flyby Winter.

I got a good chuckle at your thread title. Thanks for coming up with something creative instead of "Putting the vette away for winter..."

Based on the temps today, it won't be long before I have to put mine away too. Sometimes it just sucks living in a state where winter can be a PITA.
