Who stores their cars over the winter???
Just wondering who stores their cars over the winter, and what u drive during the "off-season".

I have a 91 civic cx during the "off-season", and man do I ever miss my EG, this thing doesnt even have a cupholder, and the shifter is just sticking out of the carpet!

I know it's only a civic and most people think I'm crazy( partially true but shhh) it's MY civic and this has been the first year I stored it.

The off season consists of driving a '90 Chev P/U. Tis all for now..

I warned you about the crazy part, haha. I also have a motorcycle that i store over the winter, so I'm somewhat used to not being able to use it.

I would really only store a car o mine if i had ully restored it o owed it from new. But when I purchased my civic it hade been driven for 5 winters or so...I don't see much of a point to storing it now.

I just don't have room to own a second car. I think with the way I take care of my car, it should be able to last for a while. I.E. keeping it clean, rust free and whatnot. Wear and tear that's inveitable.

I drive mine all year long. If the weather is really bad, we take the dog somewhere, or go on a long drive then we take the truck. It sucks too much gas to use all the time.
