I'm fortunate to live in an area that doesn't get cold for long stretches, too. At worst, it might be a week (if we get a storm or mrowc6 is out of town and isn't driving , too), but I've not had to buy a battery tender, yet!

You're lucky you live in a more moderate climate. Mine is away for the winter it seems and probably won't be back on the road until March.

And we are all sorry for you having to live in a place with such a shallow gene pool.

Yes your lucky, here in SoCal we have rain and it won't be over until Wednesday or Thursday. It's going to be so cold this weekend around 69 but that is fine for running at Fontana and the car runs nice in that cold weather.

Well, that wasn't very nice.

Were you just trying to offend the Poster or everyone living in Texas?

That is pretty funny, although it could be also be subtitled "someone is too stupid to use photoshop" because the aTm logo was obviously added and isn't oriented properly. On the other hand, the other (unedited) hats looks suspiciously like Cubs hats, which explains everything.

Good catch Rgeezer!! I hadn't noticed the Texas A&M logo wasn't right.

Good thing I live in Minnesota where I never have to store my car because any given winter day can still be a sunny snow-free -1 degrees (like last night).

It is overcast in Fort Worth this morning but still a nice 55*. Nice enough that I took the new Z51 in for the much talked about 1st oil change. It was at the 900 mile mark, first chance I have had to get it in to the dealer since the requirement was announced a week or so ago. What a car!

My last C7 drive in MN was on 11.04, and I probably will not be able to drive it again until mid April. It is going to be a long winter for me!

I must agree.
And, like you I never have to store my vehicles, which, is about the only remaining reason I still live in California.
