When to put it away ...
 
OK ladies and gents ... with Labor Day fast approaching when do you officially put the baby to bed? I live in Northeast Ohio so I have about another 2 months (give or take a few days) to enjoy her.

What say you guys?:blueangel:

Never. I live in an area where I can drive most of the winter months.

Hey im also stuck here in NE ohio i think i put mine away about the end of sept or beginning of oct last year.

Tooonz 08-28-2015 11:56 AM

End of October here depends on the weather. October tends to be one of those months were the leaves and rain make a terrible combo. I've seen more classic card over my years get wrecked around All Hollows Eve :)

COOLTED 08-28-2015 12:14 PM

Unless salt is needed, I will be driving mine into November here in Nebraska.

letterman7 08-28-2015 04:11 PM

Never. Unless there is snow or salt on the ground, it'll be driven all year long.

I see your point ... bad day at the office today but drove my girl in this morning so driving her home with the windows down and some good rock playing it took the stress away ... so I wish I could keep my stress reliever out ALL DAMN YEAR!

where at in NE Ohio do you live ...

I am in Medina County ...

also depends on whether you have a significant other or not...if single, you need to run it a little longer. if attached, a; you don't need it as a wingman, and b; you don't wanna hear spousal unit b!tch cuz you banged it up in the nasty weather...

7T1vette 08-28-2015 07:06 PM

Doesn't it just sit in the garage during winter months? Just take it out on days without: RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, FOG, TORNADO, ICE STORMS, BELOW ZERO TEMPS and on other nice days when you don't feel like going out.

P.S. It's nice living in Tennessee [instead of central Indiana]. :thumbs:

LS4 PILOT 08-28-2015 09:26 PM

There will be days in Dec . I'll have shorts on ...top down ......

Top up Jan -March .....still in service ....much much less than rest of year.

I hate snow.....and cold weather ......I was done with snow after I was 10 years old .

There are no such days here in N.E. Ohio in the winter. Mine stays in from Nov.1st until April 1st.

:iagree:

Also, my tires don't like getting traction in anything below 40 degrees. so when it gets cold it's done for the year

Yes I do.

Only if roads have been salted and only if they're wet when you drive on them. In my area for most of the winter, roads are dry and unsalted.

I live southern New York state,. I will take my car out on weekends and meet up with the guys in the club for breakfast. As long as there is no ice, snow or salt on the roads.. But once the roads go to ****, its night, night time..
