My Firehawk sits in the garage year 'round because it's always apart being modded.

Storing the car for the winter would have to suck But, I imagine as soon as its warm again, and you crack open those doors and see it sitting in there just waiting to be driven, an overwhelming amount of joy prolly covers your face. I know it would mine.

When you put a car up for the winter, do you drain any liquids or anything? Do you leave the tank as empty as you can? How does the car react when trying to crank it up after sitting that long?

You should get a bunch of shti together and do a bunch of mods at once, that way you can at least drive the car every now and then

It's 75 here in Florida, I would take the t-tops off and go cruise, but that crappy ignition system GM put on LT1s called "optispark" decided to crap out on me.

Suck having to put it up for the winter. Winter here hasn't been real bad the past few years & since this is my only daily it gets driven rain, sleet or snow. I wish I had another vechicle & a storage unit that nice though.

Ha! Winter storage. Thanks to the (still) warm SoCal weather I'm still driving with the t-tops off. In fact, if I still had AC in my car I could have used it this past week. God, I hate snow.....

The picture shown where the cars are parked is just a blocked off room in this huuuuuuge storage building that my buddy Jeff owns. They are planning to get a lift in there so we can work on our cars and do side jobs...so we'll be in there quite often!!

Took mine on a cruise today. T-Tops off windows down. I have a daily to drive. But if the weather is good and the roads are good the Z gets driven. I know many of you do it to spare the car from all the road crap. Just cant see not driving the car in good weather anytime of the year.
