putting my c6 to sleep
I know it's a little early, but winter comes quick up here in Michigan. What do you guys do to put your cars to sleep for the winter? BTW anyone in the metro Detroit area know of a winter storage space?

Pump up the tires, hook up a battery tender, put a cover on it and call it a season.

Seems to me that it makes sense to wait until it stops
getting warmer outside before thinking about winter...

Never, if the roads are clear of ice, salt, sand, and snow, I drive it.

This plus an oil change and baggies rubber-banded on the tailpipes to keep out the moisture.

Not that I even want to talk about storage but the baggies can do the opposite and hold moisture in. I use dryer sheets just to keep the mice out.

Drive the thing until Oct./Nov. before you fret over this.
And as JLB768 posted, if the roads are clear of ice, salt, sand, and snow, drive the thing.
