Got the 7 Tucked away for the winter
 
Both "She who must be obeyed" and the 7 are both happier now.
Happy Rx

Also got a stack of snow tires ready to mount on the 300ZX as soon as the snow hits.

i'm not sure that turbo 300ZX will be any better in the snow..

With 4 snow tires and 120lbs of sand in the hatch, it goes through pretty much anything. Driven it the last 2 winters.

HEY! It could drop below 50 degrees! That's cold!

Just kidding, I dunno where Wacky lives but a couple weeks ago we got low 30's in the Bay Area (Nor Cal)

So.... what are your steps for winter storage?

Siraniko 12-24-10 01:14 AM

hey now, its 50 degrees here in Socal, thats brrrrrrrr for us Angelenos lol My winter storage is just in case downtown LA become covered in snow.

and oh yeah, be sure to put 2 sheets of bounce or downey dryer softner. it will make the interior smell like new.

its down into the teens at night here in northern ohio. i ran out of storage space so my 85 GS with the SE engine is forced to be driven on non snowy days.. i'd rather drive it once or twice a week than have it sit. as soon as a car sells its back in the garage.

ah hell if it's not raining in the morning I'm taken the SA to work tommorow damnit!!! lol

I daily drive my widebody here in PA and it's in the teens and she goes through snow (but very very very slowly), and I also don't have heat so i always pre-warn my passengers to warm up! :)

My FB has been in storage since early November.
