Ready for Spring - Whos with me?

Without fail, its always when we get towards end of Feb / early March that I really start missing my car and ready for winter to leave.

Im in Central Ontario, so winter will be here for a while yet sadly, so Ive been keeping myself busy doing inventory on all the parts I want to install once the car comes out of storage ( Kinetix A arms and rear camber / traction arms, stainless brake hoses, hotchkiss front and rear sways, HR sport springs on KYB struts, new 19" wheels /rubber etc)

Curious how many of us on here park our G's for winter?

Who else is going batty waiting to take car out?

Anybody else have some spring mods planned?

I put my coupe away for the winter. I won't say I'm going batty waiting to drive it again, but am certainly looking forward to it (and the warm weather). As for spring plans, I've been looking at a suspension refresh since my car has 135k miles. I was considering KYB struts as well, but just noticed that Tein now makes some stock replacements (had planned to start a thread about this).

I pretty much exclusively drive my van when it snows now, so it'll be nice to actually drive the G when spring comes round regularly again. Am excited.

I'm quite the opposite. Living in FL, I wait till winter to do most maintenance and work on the car instead of sweating bullets

ah that makes sense...

I typically take mine out of storage 1st week of april... snow is normally long gone, but I always wait for a real good drenching rain to make sure all the anti-ice salt / brine is long gone from the roads...
