When the cold sets in the car will get some minor fixes and a good cleaning. Maybe some small mods along the way.

I already have an amp and component speakers waiting on the shelf.

I love snow. Since I work at a school I get a day off from work and get to go out and play in the snow with my WRX.

Snow days rock.

I was thinking since you had even numbers on your side - the opposite side would be the odd numbers... so that is why I asked about 415 which I thought would have been straight across from you.

Hopefully, longtubes, fast 102, lots of underbody cleaning and some other stuff I'm sure. As long as I stay on track.

The only benefit of putting the car away means getting out the snowmobiles. There are a lot of similarities to hopping on a sled after work and playing in the snow for a few hours to forget the frustrations of work....just like taking the long way home in your corvette to break up your daily routine.

Personally, I plan on using a Rhino car-pocket for the first time to add an extra layer of protection in the shop storage for the winter months. No Corvette mods for this winter. I'm working on another project car instead.

Thinking about doing the door panels. Black with red stitching. I found some pieces online and it can be a do it yourself project. I have to talk myself into taking this on though. Might also have the wheels re-chromed.

I have a few painted engine pieces on the way to replace a few that were scratched.

Other than that, I plan on shoveling a lot of snow.

I'm in Houston, it's about to be prime-roof-off driving season!

And prime T-Top off driving weather for my '87 Foxbody too.

No storing the Vette or the Stang for the winter!

Going out for a town cruise around today as the "Run to the Sun" car show is on, about 800 cars show up for it, pretty big deal for a small rural town.
Of course we're all growing a little weary of the heat, paper said today would be "98'", geeze, end of Oct so lighten up Mr. Sol

Wow! What a bunch of pansies - putting away the car just because it gets a little cold outside. It can get below zero here, but as long as the roads are dry, Midnight (the name of my black 2008 base coupe) is the ride for the day. When it's nasty snow, ice, or rain, I go for Ace, our black F150 4x4, which lives outside, now that Midnight took his spot in the garage.

Working on swapping out the stock air intake to Ram Air SS CAI this weekend, then will add LG Street LT headers in the spring, with a tune to get things dialed in.
