When Are You Putting Your Car Away For Winter?
 

My fellow Canadians.. winter is almost upon us once more!

Just curious.. when are you putting your car away for the winter (the peeps that do)?

I was originally going to wait until the last possible day (at first forecast for snow) but with the rather chilly road temps lately I've merely been running 10's, instead of my usual 9's. :icon18:

I think I'm just going to do a final wash and wax and store it in the garage.. at the end of the month. :icon08:

By November.. the sexy exquisite blue flash of my Z will be absent from the streets for 5 months. Damn our winter for lasting almost half the year! Then the other half.. construction everywhere! :shakes head:

Gonna drive it all over the place the next couple weeks :icon17:

im gonna drive till the last possible second. once theres snow or the temp hits 1-2 degrees. ugh i hate winter ... back to driving the crv...

My Z rolls into the garage for winter hibernation October 27. Then the fun really begins!

1st November - insurance policy renewal date. Put away with fire & theft only.

Yesterday :(

November 1st

Nov 1. Just like IDZRVIT, that's policy renewal date so it's convenient.

I normally do the end of the month to for easy insurance switch. However this year due to out of town work for past while (approx 2 months and only home for a week of each month) I am never around to drive it so.........I put it away today:shakes head: but lately the temps have been getting cold yuk! People should also note the OEM tires state that they have bad traction with temps under 10*C and let me tell you since my rears are prett bald I can concur with that statement! Sliding all around.

My decision was always weather dependant. The latest I ever drove the Z was first week of November. BTW, we've already had snow here. But it's gone and the streets are very good. If I still had a sports car, I'd still be driving it.

I just call it cold weather testing. Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaw!

The stock tires are horrific in the cold.

You don't need to tell me! The car is a bloody drift machine in this weather. :driving:

:icon18::iagree: I constantly had to remind myself to take it a Lil easier on it........ Well just on the highways :rofl2:

Top down today, still nice here but will be plating the winter beast this week and give the z it's final oil change just to be ready. Last year I drove to end of November with no snow but not going to test that again prob putting her away in a week or 2

Oh btw not to side track the topic but if anyone doesn't know our XM radio has a seasonal package that like $80 and give you one year coverage. Just let them know you store the car for "x" amount of months and they can switch you easy. Dont quote me on the $80 but it's real close. I originally got billed like $150 for the yeaR then I got refunded 50-60 dollars when I spoke to them. I can pull up my old statements and get the bang on amount if people are curious.

I thought it was a good deal
