you guys getting excited over this good weather we are having as of late? looking at the long range it looks like it is going to continue as well. Just wondering what you guys have in your head for taking your car out of storage or for you winter drives when your gonna go to summer mode? I was thinking of taking mine out Easter weekend to get it prepared for the crusies coming up in the following weeks. what about you?

 

I drive mine...well sorta. During the winter, unless there is a bunch of snow or salt all over the road or something. However this weather has been nice, hopefully we don't get one more blast before old man winter calls it a year.

 

We ALWAYs get one more blast

 

yep not taking mine out until the salt is washed off the roads. probably mid april at the earliest. it will stay tucked in the heated garage until then.

 

I think I can only hold the urge to put my TC wheels back on for another week or two at the most. Looking at these 17" ss/na rims is starting to get to me.

 

Hahaha this is so true. Ya I have my storage space till the last day of April. Gonna wait and see but the weather forecast looks like the first of April will be the date. Seen you car the other dy going throw westville Mitch, you have an aftermarket exhaust? Seemed louder then stock

 

lol

I've already given in..

 

Haha the temptation of cars and good weather is strong specially after 6 months

 

Mine was stored in the drive way and driven all winter.

 

I first got my SS stored and tucked away mid-december because I didnt have a beater until then (or a garage to store it in; which i now have). and now it looks like I'll be taking the SS out on the 22nd to take home for spring break. its not like the car hasnt seen snow or salt ever so fawk it if it does snow. I dont think it will though. I'm taking it out and enjoying it over break. plus I gotta be ballin for the ladies I'm taking back with me. the rusty old cavalier beater just doesnt have as good of vibe, or smell as nice inside, or have any sense of awesome

 

Mine would have been out yesterday if it was..... ready

 

I'm a university student that's why I stored mine, winter rims tires over 900 dollars. Heated storage 250 for 8 months. I live 4 minutes from school and by odd chance I wanna go home catch a ride with someone going that way. ( Hali to pc roughly 1 hour 20 min)

 

mine doesnt have the following on it...


rotors
pads
front bumper
grilles
headlights
wheels
dual pod a-pillar w/ interceptor





i should probably get on that seeing as I now plan on having it out in 10 days.. lol

 

I'm a student as well.. I have a house off campus with a garage and nice yard that only costs me $300/mo with utilities included at most. the SS gets one stall in the garage and the cavalier sits outside in front of that stall. I got a beater for the exact reasons you said, winter rim/tire setup for the SS was well over $900.. I bought my beater for that same $900 instead and now have been saving $60/mo on insurance, not to mention cheaper gas costs, and not putting wasted short commuter miles on the SS. Plus its nice just having a second car which gives me some down time for the SS in the garage

 

Agreed, looking at getting a jeep tj for next winter. Just lift and 35s done. Did you keep any insurance on the bolt? Fire/theft

 

Yes, I usually have full coverage on it when its used, otherwise while in storage its under what my insurance company classifies as "storage insurance" which is basically fire/theft I'm 99% sure. It costs me $13/mo for that

 

Ya same here, cost me 12 a month. Do you have all the parts to put your car back together? Either it should be an interesting 10 days

 

yeah i have all the parts.. just havent had time to put them back on yet from all the retrofits I've been building lately lol

 

I just pulled mine out on sunday (it was 60 here) and took it for a 20 minute cruise and then it went back away until the weather gets nicer. It has been away since october!!!

 

you do retrofits? mind sending me a price? id imagine shipping will be a killer but ya never know B0K1H0

 

see my other thread. apparently the guy that owns a GTR in Halifax couldn't wait. it blew past me on the 102 today and got off at larry uteck. damn nice car.

 

looks like there will be one more storm before the cars come out, puts a damper on me taking my car out in the next week or two with a foot of snow on its way over the next 5 days. My trip down south is looking better and better every day that passes.

 

yep.. i was hoping to at least pull it out of the garage, wash it and then wax it inside. so much for that. i mean i still could but not up to hosing a car off in this cold.

 

Crazy how cold it got. This time last week I was walking to class in a long sleeve shirt and this week I am back in my snowboard jacket with a sweater underneath

 

wish I had a reason to store mine lol base ftl

gonna throw the rims and my new cm springs on this weekend hopefully
