People Who Store Bvilles 4 Winter are Sissies
Hey this may start a uproar but I don't really care. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE STORE THEIR CARS FOR THE WINTERS. Come on, really, the cars are made to be driven year round regardless of weather. Me, I only have one car and that is my Bonneville and I still drive it in deep snow and whatever Mother Nature throws at us. And the Bonneville still look stunning when all that crap is rinsed off. Would anyone mind explaining to me the reasons?

mmmmmm yummmmmmmmy
And that wasn't the worst of it (the '85 dearly departed 'yota). When somebody has a Bonneville as their "nice car" - their "summer car" - who'* to say that they should drive them in the snow/salt? My car is rusting out from under my feet at a steady pace - if the tranny lasts, it'* only good for another couple years...

also running a car in below zero temps is NOT good on anything, just because it is really cold and gets really hot quick, this leads to bad gaskets, failed rubber, anthing that expands will become degraded over time.
However it is not good to just let a car sit for 5 months either unless properly prepped, meaning you fill the cylinders up with oil and such to keep the gaskets from not craping out.

REAL MEN drive their cars and are damn proud of it
If I had the funds, I'd glady have a winter car and store the GTP away. Michigan is a very harsh state to have a car all year round, and it is even worse in the winter.
I'm a 'real man', and I care about my car, and would store it in the winter if I could.
