Second Annual Hibernation Post
Man it was a depressing day up North... 14 degrees, and the " Toy " put away for its long winter sleep. I thought it would be easier the second round, but this car is the most "ADDICTIVE " machine i have ever driven !
I`ll need all the great folks on this Forum to get me thru another " Long Cold Lonely Winter " I had to vent man !

Well you could always be glad your not loading it on flatbed. Like I'm sitting here waiting to. Yours is in protection, mine is frigging broken. But I feel for you guys. I couldn't do it. When I lived in Maryland I drove my 66 Chevelle anyway. I was smarter then the elements. I knew when the roads where saltfree and the temp safe to drive. 'Cause I'm a smart guy. 
1 winter of being driven only "when I thought it was safe" killed her exterior. Glossy blood red, to funny pink, to "nice primered Chevelle, when ya going to paint it".
But I'll have mine back soon and post some nice 75 degree coast drive'n pics.

The weather in the northeast really sucks. I'm sick and tired of this S##t. a few more years and I'll be one of those snowbirds that winters in Florida. I can't wait, golf, ride the z, golf, and ride thez some more. My wife doesn't want to go. Boy am I going to miss her the six months a year I'm away.

Right there with you, buddy!
I bought a new Avalanche, which gives me something to mod in the winter! Got a brand new set of Evo's in the shed and am shopping a cat back system. Its sure not a vette, but it keeps me sane!

I live in South Dakota and have had mine put away for about 5 weeks now. I have a couple of "rocket" snowmobiles but we don't have any snow. This is gonna be a long winter.
