Actually all of the babies. Winter is just around the corner and we're barely breaking the freezing mark every day so it was time to say good bye for another winter. All the summer toys got covered up and sent away for hibernation only to wake up to spring flowers and hopefully no showers. Can't wait for spring. It was a great first summer of Viper ownership. Let the snow fly. Snowmobile season is here.

In central Canada ( Saskatchewan ). We've a had a few flakes come down but by Nov usually the snow stays when it hits and I did not want to risk driving the cars in the snow.

This year hibernation came early.
Usually I don't put mine away till the end of October, but this year, early October.

As long as there is no salt or snow on the ground I am driving. They say it is going to be a mild winter so hopfully I will be driving all year.

This has probably been one of the worst summers in Michigan in years. Early summer was nice, but the second half of August and all of Sept & Oct have been terrible. Put less than 500 miles on the Viper this year.

We can drive in Indiana until the first good snow. Then the salt comes out and it's trouble! :(

And of course, it's not as much fun when the roads get cold!

Brian,

You're in the banana belt compared to up here. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt...You must have been time constrained ;) We put over 10,000 miles on our cars again this summer including 3 trips downstate for track or club events.

We've had a fair amount of snow already and they've salted 3 times so far (unusual even for here in early October). Luckily it's rained and taken the salt out. We're going for a couple hour drive right now. You need to find time to exercise that beast more.

Steve
