I don't store my IROC, just keep it clean and covered in the garage until the a nice weather day & drive it. Average about 15 driving days month during the winter. Meant to be driven not stored.

My camaro has never been out in the snow or salt but that may all change soon. My swap is done and I just want to go out and get some miles on it. It has been 2 years without driving it so I feel it may be time soon.

Our 3 Camaros get covered up & either in the Garage or out side (since we only have a 2 car garage & 6 cars.) From about the first of nov to the first of march

goes in november and comes out mid to late april...depending on the weather conditions.

i too built and am building my car to drive it; but salt is a definate no. to hard to clean up and eats away quickly.

although 4 years ago i drove her year round with no real problems except for traction!

i miss not driving the car, although i've been working so much on it i'm not bothered by it....just trying to get used to the 4" lift in the front.

It depends on the weather. I purchased my IROC new and it has only been out in the rain and snow a few times. I did take the WS6 out the other day for a quick ride. Had to have a fix. I just couldn't take riding in the wifes car for another two or three months. Had to hear that exhaust and tires break loose. Now I am good for another few months.
