Now all I need is a dremel. 
Positive vibes for the winter
Positive vibes for the winter It is very cold here in the midwest. My t/a is in the garage 
and all I can do is surf the web looking at cars and the parts I want for mine. Spring will be awesome. Warm weather, new parts, and able to drive! Come March I will be getting new tires (probably on the stockers unless I can scrounge up more cash for the TTMs I want), doing some fluid changes and other maintenance, adding a slp lid, bellows, and PP t/b, new shift ****, redlinegoods for interior, LEDs inside, LOTB badges, and repainting my CETA mod. I CANNOT WAIT!!
What are your spring plans for your whips guys?

I feel your pain 
I'm in lower Michigan and the salt hit the roads last week for the first time. My T/A has been in the garage for a couple weeks now ever since I got it back from the paint shop.
Projects include...
-Clean underbody
-WS6 lower air box
-Polish tail lights
-Replace window motors and convert to auto scroll on both sides
-New wheels and tires (C5 DD Chrome)
-New coolant resevior/battery tray
-Drop and polish exhaust
-Maybe some suspension parts
-6LE shift boot
-New floor mats
That's basically it...

And a LOT of under hood upgrades.

Going to jack it up, degrease, and powerwash the bottom. Right before a good coat of Por15 Chassis Black. Then going to do get my LCA brackets welded, do a full brake job, polish the wheels and powdercoat the centers, and clean, clean clean. Then she's going out of the parents garage and into a storage unit under a cover til spring. Bummer.

18" DD black c6z06 wheels and tires(already bought tires)
Selling my 4:56 spooled differential to go with a 3.75 wavetrac diff.
UMI F + R sway bars(already bought)
Getting shocks as well. If I can't afford the koni's i'll just go with the bilsteins.
No more true duals.....
3-3.5" flowmaster merge, 3.5" qtp e-cutout, and hooker catback. May get another tune.
Lastly a nice detail on the paint.

Yessir! Going with a flat black to kind of throwback to the 70's.
No snow in Kansas yet. I'm only about an hour from the border, and my hometown is around 7 miles from it, where I will be with the fam for christmas. We have had salt on the bridges though. Good think I parked the SS over thanksgiving.
Wisconsin here, my car has been parked for about a month Mods started shortly after it was parked and heres the plan for this winter...
8.8 alloy 31 spline axles, cobra brakes, trac lok, 4.30 gears w/4 link built by me
Rear air bags (no compressor though)
UMI adjustable poly LCAs
Poly ended upper bars
Hellwig sway bars (adjustable rear)
Edelbrock IAS coilovers front & rear IAS shocks
UMI K member & LCAs
UMI 3 point SFCs
MWC Watts Link
Rerouting fuel & brake lines to the top of the trans tunnel (punk *** kids cut my fuel line last summer)
Rerouting fuel pump harness (make room for traditional style true duals)
17x11 traditional style ZR1s up front deep dish ZR1s out back 315/35s at all 4 corners
Stainless headers and new 3" true duals over the axle (getting ready for a new powerplant )
Procar seats
Maybe do some interior mods like all LEDs, new carpet, finish dying my interior black, new stereo...then maybe an SS hood and LS1 SS spolier and a new grille
I think thats about it I'll be starting a build thread when more parts show up, have a good amount now, but not nearly enough

so I have to earn it LOL The parts keep coming in, but I just don't have time to do anything 
Ahhh this thread gives me hope! I've been out in 30 degree weather (plus wind chill) installing my HID's and crap on my new Bird. I've reached my limit, I can't go out there anymore lol.
Spring:
-Strano's/Bilstein's
-Underbody degrease + POR-15 coating
-New LT's + ORY
-Tranny service
-Gear oil
-Maybe some other suspension goodies
-Paint intake, TB, valve covers, coil brackets, coil packs, and a crapload more
and of course a bunch of little touches along the way as usual.. Can't WAIT til it's warm out again.

Not too much (can't afford much, lol)....but:
-GMMG catback (when it comes)
-Switching to the lower perch and a set of NastyC4's (I think that's his name) rear spring isolators
Also....been debating:
-Sound deadening the doors and under carpet (also installing new window motors)
-P&P TB
-Plug and wire replacement
-New fuel filter
-Some redlinegoods leather pieces

It was originally considered West after the settlers moved from the Easy coast but eventually further westward advances were made obviously (California, west coast.) Then it became midwest.
