I quickly learned to just change lanes with no signal. This time of year you just know half the people on the Florida roads are snowbirds or vacationers that really aren't familiar with the area and do some nutty things. The worst experience driving a big truck was in New York City. I was driving before navigation aids. It was paper truck maps. I made a wrong turn and there was no way out except to back up my semi with a 53' trailer.... Took over an hour and had to get a handful of New York's finest to finally get traffic stopped and allow me to back up around a corner. Anyway, it's getting worse with all the idiots paying more attention to their phone than driving...
Sorry, but advocating this practice is pretty bad. The same aggressive/incompetent drivers that close the gap because you want to merge using your turn signal will happily speed up, then rear end you once you merge without signaling and will blame you for brake checking them.

You'll also screw me if I we have three or more lanes, middle one is clear and I want to change into it from one side and you from the other. Happened to me once and I could barely avoid sideswiping the car whose driver did that to me, speeding up and trying to beat my merge, ignoring my turn signal and already initiated merge. Even disregarding who is at fault and assuming the insurance co will pay, our Camaros are so difficult to get parts and labor for these days.

Had my Last drive of the season, before topping off with 93 + fuel additives. Then, Up on the quick jacks for an oil change. Finally, pulled wheels off and finalized the winter storage prep. She’s in hibernation..

Thanks all.. Yeah, I tend to go a little overboard for the hibernation period. She’z stored in a Car Capsule for the season. In addition to what Christian1LE mentioned, it also helps should you have any unwanted and uninvited critters. I’ve used it from the get-go. Anyway, she gets unwrapped in the spring. Then, the build begins!!! That’ll be a different thread though.

I got the Wildhammer Flex Fuel kit installed in my car. I try not to make these perfect videos where everything looks easy, so I leave some of my frustrations in there lol.

Added Stabil to the tank, filled her up, took her to the "spa" to get cleaned up, and tucked her away for her winter hibernation
