I could never wait 9 months. But they do say time flys as you get older.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

Mine usually doesn't get driven unless I have to move it out of the garage. If I have to move it I will go drive it regardless of the temp as long as the roads are clear. I don't like to start it unless I can get it to operating temp. Its amazing how much condensation gets in the motor on a short start in cold weather.
We have crazy winters in Oklahoma, it can be negative temps one week and 70 degrees that weekend. The downside is they salt the roads pretty heavy if we get bad road conditions.

Same here. The weather is getting colder, days are getting shorter. Time to prepare for winter building season. I've got a list on mine that needs to be addressed after a great year of driving. Edit - starting with the blown-out radiator that put the car in the garage about a week early.

": WELL ITS THAT TIME AGAIN... CARS PUT IN HIBERNATION"
A phrase members from SoCal will never have to use. Or here either. Drive them all year. I drive mine year round

Here in southern Illinois, it is hardly a paradise. But today is supposed to be a nearly perfect day, near 80 and sunny. There is a little Mopar oriented get together an hour or so south of us. Several of us will caravan down and spend the day cooking out and talking Mopar and some other things. Just a fun relaxing day with friends. Really looking forward to it.
We are just far enough south that I don't have to put the Cuda in moth balls. Every few weeks through the winter, there is usually a day or so that is warm and dry enough that I can get the Cuda out, drive it a bit, and put some fresh gas in it. Just enough to keep it limbered up and fresh.
Master, again and still

Had a weather pattern change this past Friday night/Saturday morning . . . damn system parked over us, and has DUMPED 20cm (8 inches) of snow on us here. Glad I tucked everything away and been ready for this . . . UGGHHH - worst of it, is that the temp is around 0-2C (32-34F) and it's that damn WET SLOPPY COASTAL type snow - not the light fluffly powder we normally get . . . spent 2hrs shovelling yesterday !! . . . and now for today and rest of next week, temps coming back to normal and sunshine . . .
