Mid November for me. Any later than that and I take the chance of weather hitting before I got it put away. I garage it on a moisture barrier & put the cover on and the trickle charger. Sometimes I get some of the weight off it, but not always. I crack the windows, T-tops, and pop the hatch to keep the weather seals fluffy.

So when are you storing your F-body for winter?

Originally posted by gauSSiansummer is my inactive season here as far as the SS is concerned. love driving the SS the other 8 months though.
but anyhow, when i lived in WI i watched the weather and the weekend before it was supposed to snow I would pull the car into the garage and do all the good ol' prep stuff, as for the gas my personal preference is to put in an ethanol gasoline (it wont freeze) and have it at 1/4 or 1/8 tank, and fill it up in spring with fresh stuff, put the car on jack stands pull wheels off, i leave the battery in the car because i replace it in the spring anyways. oh, i also use a synthetic oil normaly so i didnt have t worry about it gelling up or anything like that, i dont know how much fact there is to the whole oil thing, ive read articles on both sides

most people only store theire cars to keep it out of the weather (snow/slush/rain) and prevent salt/sand from getting into places where it'll due damage or cause corrosion so if that fit the general winter discription for your area than you should store it, if your only concern is the cold then keep driving and have fun
