Left cover off TC yesterday with plans to take it for a run the next day. North East weather, in the teens with hail coming down. Headed out to cover it up and car was white. What the hell, lets see how these Goodyear triple treads work? NO salt on the roads. Was I surprised at the traction I had. Even going around corners. Not cheap but they sure are worth it. Happy New Year

Same questions I had. We put my son's TC away on Halloween.

My TC sees duty all year round right now. I'd like be able to put it away for the winter, but it's my only car. And it's not that nice, yet. I hope to have it looking as good as some of the ones on here.

Mine is a daily driver all year long. I have a set of good snow tires on the back with a sandbag in each of the back seat footwells. I have no problem in the snow here in Wisconsin.
Since my wife drives the all wheel drive Audi all year without putting that expensive care away, I can drive my car too. Of course I get the car washed often with an under carriage flush included.

I would drive my truck more but a 454SS has no traction at all unless fully loaded. At 10 mpg or less loaded, I drive the TC!

Ok you caught me. Was not hailing when I drove it. Never has been driven in the snow and only twice in the rain. Rain was a joke, I couldn't find the wiper switch. Only the second winter it has been under a cover. Will look into a enclosed car carrier this spring. Can't afford another garage at the moment. Still making payment on the Viper truck that resides in the garage.
Old bird maybe but it has less then 10000 miles on it.
