Who puts their ride away for the winter?

I park my three third gens through the winter -- the purple one gets carport status (would love to have a garage!), just got the '00 T/A so in bad weather it gets space number two on the carport, then the Sept. 11th Tribute ('92 T/A vert) sits with a cover on her in the driveway. I keep insurance on all of them -- I hadn't thought about limited coverage during the winter, but then again - I'm an old lady and my insurance isn't that high anyway.
My 6-cylinder Camaro is my DD until it sells, all year long.

I would risk freezing to death before I'd expose my F-body to salt. Yeah I know I'm crazy.

3 days ago it was in the 30's, snow was melting, I started the Z up and was thinking---I'll be dirving it in no time. Then it snowed 5 inches, and its a blizzrd warning now...calling for 8-14 inches.....

Same here lately, except nothing in the forecast. I actually drove mine jan 1st and 2nd, they hadn't salted in a month or so and it had rained a few times, roads were squeaky clean

I store mine all winter. Had it in the garage since the end of October. I pulled all coverage off it and just put on what my insurance company calls "storage insurance" which is basically fire/theft/vandalism coverage. There are a couple other things covered in it as well.

I store mine in the winter with full coverage in case there is a day or two that the roads are clean and I can run it around a little.
It has been covered and curled up on the carpet next to the furnace since Jan. 4th.

I put mine away for the winter, but this is the first year I have dropped the collision coverage.
I hated seeing your car covered with snow after we got hit with that heavy stuff a few weeks ago. I just bought a house and moved out of the complex last weekend. Still working in Plymouth though and I still want to take you up on that race once it gets warm. But from the looks of your sig you'll have about the same mods as me.

What is this winter you speak of? I don't believe that Houston ever gets a chance to see one. lol
But we do have surface of the sun temps 360 days of the year.
Peace,
