Hibernation time
Made it all the way to January, but they dropped a bunch of salt on the roads and no rain in sight. So on goes the CTEK and off goes the insurance. Back out in a few months with some new shoes (CCW 505a's) so all isn't lost. Off to the cave!

I feel your pain. Mines more or less put up also. Up here in Washington they like to use Glycol on the roads, so I have a tendency to drive it only on dry sunny days during the winter. When I lived in Texas, never had to worry about it.

Some people have a specific date they put their car away, regardless of weather. Me, I'll drive it right up to when they throw down that evil white stuff on the roads

Down here in Peoria the roads are still clear. The car cover is in the back hatch, but she's still ready for the next week or so, because the forecast is for 50s and sunny by the end of this week and into next, so it'll be back on the road until at least mid-January! Love these mild winters (so far)! Zuti

Mine's been under cover for a couple of weeks now. No salt or cinders on the road yet - heck only one minor snow so far - so it may not stay under the covers all winter.
