Default And the countdown starts...

So last night i washed the car for the last time this year. Took the summer wheelset off and topped up the gas tank. I still have more winterizing to do. Any one else put their car to bed yet?

I'm sad already...counting down the days till spring

I'm assuming it's best to remove hard top and fold the soft top up but not latch it to not stress or fold the fabric too much?

Trying to convince someone to rent me a hard top for winter

Two years ago on November 1st i got caught, one hour from home, in the snow with worn out ap1 tires. Never again! Since that night i have put the S away on the last weekend of October. It sucks that the roads will be dry for another 6 weeks...i just dont want to chance it. And the fact that the salters can be out starting Novenber 1st

really dom? Why? I don't see the logic in that... unless the oil is old and dirty.... please explain.

My car is going away very soon also! I'm thinking this weekend or next.
