Guys... it's a car. Not a grizzly bear. NO NEED to let it hibernate.

Drive it ALL winter. In the incliment weather - THEN pull out the beater.

The car does great in cold weather.

Just keep it away from snow.

I have NO problem driving my car in the COLD, the problem I have is.. after the first freeze, the DOT likes to put calcium down on the roads.

I also don't like the idea of it being COLD and having any standing water FREEZE. I am more concerned of OTHER drivers than I am of myself. I've lived in Colorado and drove a Mustang and a Trans-Am just about year round.

I'm also starting to see the trees lose leaves as well as SMALL branches and twigs, that seem to fly through the air and like to smack my Z...

What about the Midwest?

Anyways, I have one more week left of enjoying my Z until I store her for the Winter season as well. Gotta get the tire pressure up, change the oil, buy a car cover, grab a full tank of gas, give her a good wash, and then I'm off driving my "new" beater... 1989 Toyota Celica GT Hatchback

Woo ha!

Here in NY it is COOOLD! I wish it would be hot year round, that would be amazing. NY summers are the best. NY winters are harsh!
