Corvette Winter Storage Thread....

[LE BARON]

Cool thought .... I have the Drive to MITM and Back on a 128Gb SD Card ....

(no grandkids for a while ....
still fathoming the thought of my teen having a "boy" friend or five as they all see who picks her up at school ...)

Dad would probably win out with a much snazzier car.

It would set the bar high enough to keep the riff-raft away LOL

Good News for the DIYers ... this cat’s looking pretty happy starting Monday October 1st until Hallowern Night - Mobil 1 is $37 for 4.4 litres at Napa - says “various grades” and photo shows 5W-30

Sigh.... Back to work this Sunday, only storage insurance on the car as of this Monday. Is winter over yet?

STOP these depressing thoughts!
21C today, top down and an ice cream. Leaves are starting to change probably because they are tired of waiting for the frost. Next two weeks will be top colours for driving around the hills.

... the song never stops ...
"it's the most won-der-ful time of the year ...."
starts right from the nuisance "Back to School at Staples" ads on the TV.

Still looking for a good winter storage location in Ottawa. Would appreciate input if available. Cheers.

Done for the year... just a bit of fuel stab to pour in in October. (Forgot when I drove it over the the storage barn)

Nice 'carbon fiber' cover!

That looks like a ZR1 under there!
Are you not telling us something?

I wish... nope that’s just the stage 3 APR spoiler I put on. Stretches that cover a bit ya.

Just a further thought on storage. Like to take the car for a half hour drive with the a/c on to get the seals nicely lubricated. Then I like to add Sea Foam as a stabilizer, then fill it up with Shell 91 here in B.C. cause it has no ethanol in their 91. Then straight home, let it cool down and cover it with its nightie and wish it a good hibernation. This of course after it has its oil change and then has all four wheels on their dollies.

Great thread. Thank you to all you contributed above. Adding a couple of thoughts. For those who do not have the capacity to keep your battery on a charger, if/when you take it out, it needs to be a full 45 minutes drive, and second, one of the things that sounds counterintuitive for winter driving, is to insure once it is been run for half that length of time (or more), turn on your air condition at least for a few minutes to avoid condensation built up within its system. I do not live in as harsh a climate as you, but try and find a couple of dry dayes in a row, so use day one for the roads to dry up, the second day to do my driving.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions made above!

Hehe... And it's able to leap buildings in a single bound! That is a mean looking ride Derek.
