Must be a lot of Camaro's wintering in storage. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I live in northern Ohio almost to the Michigan line. I am on the road for work all the time, put about 4K miles a month on the company vehicle. Today I seen the first Camaro in more than 3 weeks. It was a black V6 and looked more white from the road salt than black. It looked pretty sad all filthy dirty.

Are you northern guys seeing the same thing, very few Camaro's on the winter roads. I wonder what the percentage of northern Camaro owners store their cars in the winter? I put mine in storage in November and don't get it out until April or May depending on the weather.

Mine is in storage. I put it away the middle of October and do not plan bringing it out until the roads are clean.

I drive quite a bit and haven't come across alot on the road.

Mines been in storage since nov 14. I would be driving it but we've gotten over 50" of snow and its not letting up. Guess it's time for a road trip south!!

Mine has been in the driveway since early November, and will stay there till spring other than the every now and again trip around the block to rotate the tires.

Haven't seen many in this part of the world recently either.

I took delivery of my '11 2SSRS on 12-02-10 and drove it straight home and into storage in my garage. Only 39 miles on the odometer. Luckily the roads were pretty clean that day, but it has snowed almost everyday since. I will not bring it out until after the first hard rain in spring so that the salt gets washed off the roads. Here in MN they put down a ton of salt during the winter.

I love close to you haha. There is a guy driving around in a Synergy Green V6 by me. The other day when we got all of that snow, he drove about 2mph down my road, because of no traction. IDK how people drive this car in winter time!

Right with you mine went into storage at the end of november,way too much snow and salt on the roads here, its two years old and only 500 miles on her. I've seen a few that were V8 around the St. Paul area, its a shame to see them with all the salt on them.

1Camaro2SS · 01-23-2011, 04:01 PM

Mine is staying warm and clean until the road salt is washed away. I really miss driving it.

ToolFan66 · 01-23-2011, 04:02 PM

Today was a nice day here so me and the wife went running around for a few in it.as soon as I got her home unloaded a few things we picked up. I went and gave her a bath wiped her down,cleaned the wheels and did a full detail,Parked her in the garage and covered her back up..

But it was a blast driving her!!!

That's pretty much my schedule too. Depressing at times, but Spring is so much more fun!
