This will be my first winter with the M roadster. I dont mind top down driving at about 50 degrees with a sweatshirt and heated seats. I've also noticed the heater in this car cranks out some hot freakin air. I figure I'll probably drive it until early November. Then I'll cover it up for the winter.
tells it like it is
Most of us swap to snow tires around Thanksgiving. You should be able to drive through November without salt, unless we get some freaky early snow this year.Originally Posted by Hogan
Done.
If you drive the car through November, you ought to bring the Z for the Fall Colors Cruise this Saturday.

Not unless I can get the money for a winter car. But If I do, I'll put it in on November 2nd, as my birthday is the 1st and I will want to drive some good roads in it.

My six is in a semi-storage state year round. Only sees nice sunny not-too-hot days. REALLY spoiled.

I'll drive mine until the first time they salt or sand the roads. Then its time to tear into it and do some mods!

I'll bust out the winter car as soon as I find one that is as fun to drive as the M.
M's in the snow are just too fun to trade in for some POS.

I would like to know if anyone knows where I can do some all year storage?
Member
There are storage units that you can rent for about 50 bucks a month.
Member
Where at? It is about that time to put the vert away.

Here in Oshkosh there must be 30 different places that rent out storage units. Im sure there are some in your home town. I'd just look in the yellow pages under storage unit or rental storage.

If I am actually driving my car (its been in storage for 1.5 years) I put it in right after the first snow fall.

Oshkosh is a little to far north for me. I live in schaumburg and everything around me would be about $100 and up. I need to start look.

Both of mine go into storage (by that, I mean the garage) in about a month. They won't be out until April.
Member
Mine went into storage tonight...
Member
Dude, now thats what I call a garage. Is it just the pic or is your garage like 50' x 50'.Mine went into storage tonight...
Member
I put mine away as soon as the first salting of the roads happens.
Member
It's the picture. The garage is 26'd x 30'w (it's considered oversized - my wife wasn't happy getting a larger garage for the same price as finishing the basement and adding a deck) We just took posession of the house yesterday, so I had to post a pic.

There is a storage place by me, up on rand road just north of lake cook road. Its in deer park and I dont immediatly know the name, but, I can find out this evening. I also do not know the pricing, but, I have to guess its not $100 a month as I saw someone else post..
