The winter was so mild here, it never really went into storage. Drove it every month, but only put about 400 miles on it.

I got mine out in late March. I couldn't wait any longer. In the past years I have gotten it out on April 13, but I couldn't wait any longer. I live in Ohio and it was pretty nice at that time, so I have been driving it for a while. But it only comes out of the garage when it is nice, no rain and no snow. I love my Camaro!!!!!

In Texas? The only time you don't drop the top is in the summer days (summer nights however are damn nice). Otherwise, it's a year-round driver!

I'd hate to own something I love to drive and not get to drive it...

I'll finally get mine out May 1st. It's been a while since it's been driven. Probably 3 years. I'm sure it'll like the warmer weather too.

March 28. After being off the road since July 15, 2000. It actually doesn't seem to have a grudge against the Grand Am.

Put it away at the end of September. Took it out April 4th to put it on blocks. A friend of mine took all 4 rims and put nice new Falken 502's on them and brought them back to me. Drove it on the 7th a little. Took it out once or twice since then. Still a work in progress but it doesn't look like I'll have too much time to work on it until it goes away again this winter. My first child is expected sometime around July 15th. :lala:

I've owned it for about a 16 months and put about 1,500 miles on it. It may lose a little driving time this year to Dad's shiney new 2002 Thunderbird! :hail: :rockon:

I got mine out over a month ago, pretty mild winter. Didn't drive it to work today though. It's 23 degrees this morning--over 90 degrees around a week ago. Nebraska weather

Mine never went away.. this winter wasn't too bad. Instead of a lot of small snows, we had like 3 small snows and a pretty big one. I made sure to wash it about every week and spray off the salt on the underbody and wheel wells.
