REALLY hard to park my SS for the winter!
Living in Minnesota, well the time has come. Sleep well my wicked one - see you in early Spring!

That's tough. I think the longest I've gone without driving mine has been a couple of weeks and that was torture.

By the time the end of October gets here I'm sick of trying to keep it clean anyway. Ready for a nice 5 month break. Then in the spring it's like getting a new car.

I could never go that long without enjoying the driving of my 1LE. Snow and ice, forget it. But there are plenty of beautiful winter days. AND, that cold temp does wonders for the power output.

I feel your pain, I had to put mine up for the first time last weekend....Though I don't know if it was easier or harder for me. I busted my heel on 8/15 and since it is a manual I have not been able to drive it since.....
Well at least my heel should be all better by spring and I can get the break in miles taken care of. |

Thank goodness it does not get that cold here in central NC just a few days here and there whn I might drive the Jeep or Mazda Tribute but if it is above 40 no precip I am driving the 1LE it is just so much fun to drive!

It’s a good thing where I am that we normally see 1-3” per storm most of the time with the occasional 6” and the once in a blue moon blizzards where it dumps at least a foot. If the 6” storms and blizzards occurred more often, I would not own the Camaro. I wouldn’t be able to store it.

I feel ya man. It was really cold out here today @ 78 degrees, and the chill from the light breeze was killer! I almost had to wear pants!

Thankfully the part of Nc I live in doesn’t get snow very often. Plenty of cool dry days in the winter to put the car thru it’s paces. Win/Win
