I'll drive all winter since I'm in Orlando. Lots of car show activity. Come on down!

 Well...the '74 will still be holdin down the floor in the garage. The '85 will still be holding down the driveway. I will be putting a new water pump on it this weekend, so Mama can get some miles on it before the weather turns nasty.

Mine will be taking me back and forth to work here in North east Florida.

I'm lucky to be in the all year long category.  I do have a few winter projects I'd like to get done but that won't keep me from getting some great cruising in....

Remember, there's no place like ~ ;)

This winter the '96 will join the '72 in holding down the garage floor while I replace Waterpump, serpentine belt, brake hoses, pads, replacing front air dam, adding screening to cooling air entrance under nose, add splash shields to inner fender wells, replacing rear sway bar bushings, etc.

"Faster, Faster, the lights are turning Red!"

As long as no snow or salt on ground, I'll drive it at least once a week to work.  Heater works great and will do some "spirited"   driving in the nice cool air.

Same here as Jimmy.... our winters in Ohio have been very strange for the last 3-4 years and there are periods of time when it's good to take her out. If there's no snow or salt on the road, it gets some fresh air. Occasionally I'll drive with the top down when we will get a 50-60 degree day, that always turns some heads

In Phoenix, "ain't no winter" to rest up, so my 87 has to get up every morning and drive me to work. If I have to work, and I do, it's not bad having a Corvette chauffeur! PS to Windrider1200, when you do the screening for your air dam, get the gutter guard screen (curved 3' sections of stiff screen), which screws and zip-ties up nicely and works great, as you can see. (I drive through farm country a lot, which tends to suck up road kill and debris like mad, so the C4 needs protection on it's bottom lip....)

I STORE all my Corvettes every year on Turkey day (Thanksgiving evening) and they never leave the garage until April Fools day (my wife says I'm both a Turkey and a Fool)  which I guess is better then being a chicken and a idiot )   

Mine is safely tucked away till spring, it started to snow today.

Major overhaul for my '84 this winter. But it's worth every penny. Planned: complete performance engine rebuild. Rebuilt direct drive and overdrive from SK Speed, clutch, master, slave, etc.... New ball joints, tie rods, rack. Complete weatherstrip kit. Outer door seals. New carpets over dynamat, new leather seats. Already complete: cluster rebuilt. New Bilsteins installed. New pads, rotors, stainless hoses, master, and booster. New battery. Polished factory wheels. 16 hours spent detailing paint. Busy (and expensive) year for me!

I'm like jimmy.  If i get days with no salt or snow, I'll stretch it's legs.

Here in Central New York my 95 rests tucked away in the garage, covered with the battery tender connected  but always ready to venture out on nice crisp sunny winter days. We always get out a couple days every month during the winter and wow, the looks we get! While most other cars are dull and full of road dirt and salt spray my  polished vette stands out like a diamond reflecting the bright sun against the snow cover along the road side! It is amazing!!!

My '84 will be undergoing major cosmetic restoration this winter. Drive train and suspension were done last year. Carpets, seats, all rubber seals, and some plastic work inside.  Keep me busy for the winter.

My red hot rod will be undergoing a suspension upgrade and ol black beaty has already see the snow  and that took about 4 wash jobs to get it cleaned up If I flip the black 85 I may spring for a pro charger for the red one or turbo that thing  500 HP is good   and MORE is better in my book LOL

My -94 Conv is garaged. The other 2 cars (newer and money wise more valuable..) will be held outdoor this winter. Some minor fixes as new weatherstrips, new seat leather covers, new emblems (hood and gas door). Before it got garaged I fixed some small paint defects. It'll be a 5 months looong wait until the snow and ice has gone away...

Yeah it looks like yours Adam. Done for the season and now praying for an early spring.

Change the oil, distribute a few bounce sheets here and there to keep the critters away, fill the gas tank, wash it, cover it and hook up the C-Tek b/charger.

Nice touch on your cover -- like the hash marks.

Colin (in the cold north)

yep- my 87 convertible looks kind of like yours. she has moved into her winter storage garage, though the cover doesn´t look as pretty as yours. it´s a bit big, as in summer, my 300CE Merc wears it. the cars swap garages in winter (just for the heck of it, so I can look at the Merc in winter and the C4 in summer...)

SoCal. The land of no weather. 

Tucked safely away in the garage. Crap weather here now until March/April.

Bummer but that's the way it is. Boo Hoo.

C.

Mine is sitting in the garage connected to a Battery Tender waiting for the occassional sunny day this winter when I can drive it.  When the streets are slushy, I leave it in and when they are clear and dry I take it out, cold weather or not.  No garage queen here! 

|UPDATED|1/1/2014 9:25:08 AM (AZT)|/UPDATED|

I drove mine to work on Monday Dec. 30th. But it usually sits waiting for sunny days in the garage. I need to clean/rearrange the garage so that IF I get all four cars home and healthy at one time...... ;-)

LOL, So-Cal is looking pretty dang good right about now -- cold, windy, and snowy up here right now.

C.

Wow kadl18 how did you get asked to have your C4 added on display in a museum?  Is that just a short term exhibit for the Corvettes?  I was just looking over the website http://speyer.technik-museum.de/en and I have to say I'm jealous as that is an amazing place!  They have vintage cars, firetrucks, a mega collection of aviation history including a space orbiter and  even a 747 jumbo jet, and large maritime collection including a u-boat submarine!  My next trip overseas will definitely include that place!  Having your C4 Corvette inside there is quite an honor.

Hi again!

Thank you for your comment, epohdivad! Here in the land of Porsche a Corvette is always an eyecatcher    
Most of the Vette drivers are organised in clubs or at least in the german speaking www.corvetteforum.de
As my 94 is in pristine conditon with only 18 kmls on it, i was asked by JR a well known forum member if i would
like to give my C4 from October til April to technik museum Speyer. If you plan to visit Germany, you should
also visit the sister museum http://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/en located just 20 miles away from Speyer  

Best Regards from Germany
Thomas (kadl18)

Been driving our C4s all winter, even in the rain we've occasionally gotten.  Despite California's political downfalls (in my view,) the weather is fantastic.  Although I miss the east coast sometimes, I don't miss shoveling snow and having my driving choices limited.  I hope you folks in the less temperate areas have been able to enjoy your cars at least on occasion this winter.

______________

Mine has been sitting on a battery tender since Dec 11th when I had foot surgery and finally started her last evening.  Can't wait to drive.  We still have about 3" of snow on the ground and expecting 2-4 again tonight.  Temps supposed to be in the 40-50 range next week maybe get a chance soon.

Following closely the sinkhole problem at the museum recently. Sure hope they retrieve all those gorgeous cars and fix up the museum soon.

C.

Unless I can find a way to hook up a snow plow to the front, she's been sitting under cover waiting for just a few days of decent, no salt on the ground weather. 

epohdivad,

C4 : It's more than a feeling.
       It's a PASSION !!

My Rosie stays in the garage until a nice day happens with no crud on the roads. She gets the best care I can give her.

Mine is sitting in the garage under a car cover with a snowblower sitting in front of it awaiting the next snowstorm!  I couldn't get either out the alley due to the ruts in the ice and snow between the garage and the end of the alley.
