Happy First post to me!

What are you guys doing for the winter? I'm renting a spot in my neighbors attached garage and his 91 Taurus for $150/mo. The car stays clean in a garage, keeps me from wanting to drive it on semi-nice days, and provides me with a temperary beater!

Drive the wife's Jimmy most of the time, but the SS is no garage queen.

This was mine just before Xmas.

Here's one from last year at around this time

Right now I have my winter tires mounted on the Y2K Z28 16" alloys. During the spring - fall they get the Hoosiers.

Mine newly acquired '98 SS is currently on a scenic trip from Camarillio, CA to Harrison Township, MI.....although it might not be able to see much of the countryside from the back of an enclosed semi.

My Hawk is a garage queen

She's hibernating until the raods are clean. I hope to get her out in march sometime. I couln't find a garage near me to rent, and I didn't want her far away, so my Eclipse sits outside all winter

Such is life.

I left the SS in the garage today and drove my truck to work, rain is in the forecast.

Folks around here do not know how to drive on wet roads and if I'm going to get run into, I'd rather be in the truck than the car.

No need for a beater... my Hawk came with a heater, windshield wipers, defrosters, etc. so I pretty much drive it every day unless there is ice on the roads.

I drive my 98 Camaro SS on the nice days and my 97 Cavalier Z24 on the not so nice days.

This is the first year I have a garage for my Camaro SS.

My 2000 is sleeping under the cover in the garage for the winter. I drive a '89 Camry in the off season and on the bad days in the warm weather.
