I think they're saying winter will be arriving early this year.

Regardless, I think I'll be able to put the car away shortly after Halloween.

It snows sooner when you're north of Hwy7.

Can pretty much count on snow by the end of October here, but we're having nicer weather than we had all summer here now, so I'm still going. Pretty much certain it'll be parked by early-mid November just the same.

Call this guy for storage. He is in the Uxbrdge area.

I have 3 spaces available in my heated, dry and secure building. Very private. $550 for the entire winter season October through May. Year round also available. Call Ed @ 905-862-0019 or email reply.

Mine will likely get put away sometime around the end of the month. Then they might get pulled out mid winter or closer to spring for "improvements"....

Mines parked behind the house now, just have to put the tarp down and buy a cover. Have some work left over from earlier that I'm only just getting to now, so my spare time before the snow will be spent doing that stuff.

Normally I'd wait until it starts to snow. Last year, I stored sometime in late October/early November due to a blown transmission. This year, it looks like I'm out for the season now due to a blown up diff. That kind of sucks because there is easily another month of driving left.

Nope.
Tan interiors are American cars.
Mine's Canadian.

I've only been around the Aurora/Newmarket area in the past 3 months.
