Apparently you're too recently registered or have too few posts to post a poll with your thread, so I started one and merged them, thank me later.

... and I don't store mine, NC winters aren't THAT bad.

No need for apologies, I tried to edit your post to add it and the option was not there.

No need for that here in Vegas... It's cold but no snow or salt to battle every day! It will be "stored" for a while here soon while I drop my RB in though...

Never stored my car for the winter and I don't think I'll ever do it.. (Southern Californian)

I can never picture myself living in a place where i'd have to.

Mine is for the second year...I did drive it in the snow but it's not worth the risk, plus 3 months in the garage with nowhere to go is a great opportunity for modding...Last winter she got full Z-brakes, shocks/springs, a lsd, and a few other odds and ends....this year its more susp. parts (tension rods, front end bushings/ball joints/etc.), a few motor parts (clutch and a few maintenance things), and some weight redux (A/C and other unused stuffs)...winter sucks, but I'm stuck here til I graduate so what better way to spend the winter than getting the car ready for the next season?

Only downside is I had to buy a beater....a teal 93 Civic DX hatch...it makes me miss my car severely...

i definately winter store mine

psychoblue23 · 12-25-2005, 08:48 PM

i was thinkin about renting a space to store my car.. that way it be safe from getting damaged in my garage.. my grandfather has already bashed into it pulling into the garage, and my aunts fat ass (no seriously its fat liek 3 feet wide) rubs up against it when she goes out to do laundry and ripped off my side veiw mirror... i was think like public storage .. and brign all my tools there but i dont think id have power for the compresor or lights, and if they caught me id prolly get in trouble.

STORE IT! I'm from Maine and stored my 95 KAT for 3 winters, this current one i came upon some nice snow tires for free and i was like "fuck it, it'l be fun" and it was. Car drove great and i felt completely safe driving untill some dumb shit hit me a totalled my 240. HE couldn't stop fast enough on the ice and t-boned me.
