Hey! cmon now! Its a fully sealed shed. Not even an ant will be able to get in when im done 
... that is if an ants are even active in winter...hmmm. Yes, slightly lower class parking for the S. But still better than outside in bare elements.
I promised the cars I would look for a garage with an attached house very soon

This will be my first winter with the S. Unfortunately I won't have a second car until next year so when I can't use the girlfriend's Fit I'll need to expose my baby to the harsh Chicago elements. Because of that my projects are going to be limited to squirreling away parts for the spring. I already picked up a Seibon CF hardtop on the cheap that needs hardware and some body work, as well as a color matched paint job..By the time the city thaws I'll hopefully have a nice set of 17" Work Emotions with summer tires, a new exhaust, and my HT will be finished. Other than that I'm looking to restore some of the interior that's pretty worn. Ugh, I already can't wait for next spring!

Well, not sure if it qualifies yet, but I need to finish my interior, which is taking place this saturday.
Other than that,
Powdercoat an AP2 V2 valve cover, and install,
Remove TB, and IM
Resurface IM for powdercoating
Bore TB and IM
Powdercoat IM
Reinstall IM and TB
Buy and install PWJDM intake.
Buy and install hood struts
Buy and install other misc carbon bits in the engine bay
buy and install blue Samco radiator hoses.
I'll probably need some help with some of that. And a good heater for all of it, as it will all get done while the S is officially in storage.

Same winter project as Paul above,
Have a second intake manifold that I want to smooth and get powdercoated to match my valve cover.
Sell my set of 3 Work Meister S2R, may be hard to do.
Refinish and paint the knock-off sideskirts I just got.
Otherwise I working on the house, no funds for the S

Mine's going away this weekend too, but my plan this winter is to leave the damn thing alone and not spend any more money on it...yeah, well that's my plan anyway.
