Default Winterize???

I thought I would just extend this to CF's Canadian contingency. Who here plans to put the car away for the winter? I've seen alot of Vettes still flying around town given our rapidly changing weather. I for one drive it year round......with some exceptions.

My 87 is sleeping soundly till next May. Might be yearround driveable in Ont. where they use a ton of salt, but here in Sask. the snow ruts and extreme temps have you hooped. As 75Rag says, time for the sleds anyways. :D

Bah... I'll put it away after I see snow on the ground... and "put it away" actually means install a turbo and maybe spray. :cool:

Mine has been in the garage since september.... Silly starter... Although on the up side it is just in the back yard, so I can work on it all winter.. :-)

But she will be sitting there till the spring.

Come on spring.... We are all waiting for you.
