has everyone given up on one more indian summer day? are all the camaros hibernating? i just cant seem to put my baby to sleep yet. too much fun to drive, more fun than my 91 lincoln town car. in fact i think ill go and drive it now that its sunny out even if its 30 degrees. winter ****in sucks

 

as long as it doesnt snow I drive my ride, but after the first snow its done for the winter since they like to use salt everywhere

 

they use salt in IL? i didnt know that...i thought it was only in NY and north.

do they use a lot of salt in that area?

they usually use alot the roads looks almost pure white sometimes

 

i believe the rule is two inches of salt for every one inch of snowfall or so it seems.


you can pick salt off the road by the bucket full.

 

it takes about 3 months of heavy rain to wash all the salt off the road. in conneticut i think they use cinders , the guy i bought my camaro from told me that was why the car was in such good shape. i think some other state uses sand(goodbye wheel bearings)

 

I'm just about ready to cover mine up....and let it set for the winter season.....I don't drive it in the rain or snow....I wish I had a garage for my car though...

 

no love for the birds? i know mine is tucked away now, slowly loosing parts and gaining some with my luck ill go out some night, and itll start to snow while im out, so i dont wanna risk it

 

The old camaro is stashed away in a shed for the winter. I wanna try and keep the outside lookin good since no matter what i do, it always runs like crap.

 

I put mine away for the winter, however I might have to break it out pretty soon. Looks I'll be moving east with the family in the near future, and the state I'm moving back to, does use sand instead of salt. As far as the amount of salt Illinois uses on the road, I think even McD's uses less salt on their fries!

 

mines in bed but thats cause the engine is out of it and should have it running this weekend with new engine .. and you can count on it gettin a lot of miles on it unless it snows...

I drove my Firebird to work today. I'll drive it 'till the snow starts to fly. My other car is a minivan, so I'm in no hurry to store the bird.

 

Mine is in the garage for the winter with the nose off. Gotta get it painted in the spring.

 

as soon as it starts snowing im taking the nose off of mine and gonna try to straighten my bumper. and i have to replace driver side door moulding, every time it rains the drivers floor gets wet. moldy cars suck

 

Hopefully this weekend I can get the camaro put away for the winter. Its never touched snow or salt so why should it start now; gotta keep that Florida body

 

Connecticut uses sand and salt on the roads. Not much of a problem if you take the time to wash your car on dry days and spray all nooks & crannys. But the previous owner of my car stopped taking such good care of it and it was a daily driver for 18 years. Rear wheel wells are pretty bad. Mine is only a dry day car-mostly for the fact that it has too many leaks( t-top, hatch)

 

man that guy lied to me about the cinders in CT. i richened up my fuel mix today, man it has like three times the power, idles better and runs smoother. ive been starving the poor thing.

 

My camaro is in the garage finishin up a Vortec 350 swap. All should be done by the end of the month. But unfortantaly I have to store it outside along side the garage. that shouldnt be all bad just get some steel wheels and junk tires for it to sit on over the winter and all should be good. Oh and a car cover!

 

I drive mine until the first snowfall that they need to salt the roads. One year it didn't snow here til Dec 25th. Then the car is off the road until the first good rain storm washes the salt off the roads. Usually late March early April.
