Wow - you packed it in early. I had my Stang out today. It was nice weather in NYC today.

We may get a snow/rain mix tomorrow. The only good thing is I save some money on insurance and gas!!!! Put it away with 1,680 miles on it....averaging 15.8 mpg.

I had a tarp under mine last winter too

I have another week or so to go. We're supposed to get our first snow/mix this Friday, so my beast will ride it out in the garage, but next week looks better, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

One nice thing about driving in cold weather is that the stock pirellis suddenly turn into drift friendly tires. I got a bit sideways in a few corners this morning :D

Love the cooler temps as the car breathes better and the exhaust sounds deeper.

Jeff, I'm about 99% sure I will put her away this weekend. I need to confirm with JDM that they're not sending me a new tune anytime soon :(

JCStang 10/30/14 03:51 PM

Yeah I gotta move when I retire. Still got a ways to go though, I have to stick around NYC for another 12 years.

Once they are warm its good. Engine makes better power with those cool temps and that cold air going inside... it actually feels faster on a cool autumn day than it does a hot summer day

Just another reason to love Texas.

Yup, I parked mine last weekend and we had crappy weather all week. I woke up to snow this morning. :( Last winter I thought my car would be out by April, but the effen "polar vortex" in Wisconsin kept my car under wraps until late May. :doh:

JCStang 10/31/14 07:11 AM

It's snowing ( well, flurrying) as I type this....guess I timed putting the car away and doing the last mowing just right!!

JCStang 10/31/14 07:13 AM

And we have a wind chill right now of 16....

You drop coverage on your car during the winter months? Never thought of that but it makes sense I guess. Unless of course something happens to it in the garage. Would homeowner's cover that? Just curious as I could save a hundred bucks a month by dropping mine during the winter.

Wouldn't you have to turn in your tags and registration too?
I guess if it's not financed then you could cut comprehensive and go with the barely legal plan.

I changed plan when I would store it for winter. Cost about 20 a month but was fully covered in case it got damaged while in storage.

Going to be doing the same this year, probably in a week or two... but various improvements will be made over the winter, so that helps ease the pain :)

JCStang 11/1/14 02:27 PM

I drop liability coverage...why insure for damage you may do to someone elses car/etc if you are not driving it....cut my yearly premium by $485, so if I store it for 6 months I save $242.50...not bad...
