Next week is the last week for me too. My tires are bald so they are good and ready to get some flat spots.

tentatively i'm aiming for nov 22.... i'm up in toronto ontario canadia.

got all the things ready for storage though just need to wash the car, drive down the gas and refill with some stabil, over inflate the tires, reconnect my tender and cholk the tires. oh and plug the pipes.

then stare at her for about an hour with a slow tear rolling down my cheek as i wait for 5 months patiently to unleash her on the asphalt again.

In PENNSYLVANIA it should be that time again...

EXCEPT the weather has been Freakishly NICE...

SOOOO I keep cleaning the crap out of it / putting the cover on

AND then take it for "One Last Ride" for the year....

Kinda the opposite here in Cali. I think winter it's the best weather to drive the Z, as long as it's not raining tho. Summer's here are just way too hot to enjoy it to the fullest since you have to have AC on most of the time.

Does anyone have an official 'winter storage' checklist? I have never really stored any of my previous vehicles bit the Z will be the first. Being an avid downhill skier, I always look forward to the winter. This year, not so much.
