When does your Z go into hibernation?
Mine is going into hibernation starting this weekend. For those who live in colder regions like I do, when do you put yours away?

I wait until it gets cold enough and some type of rain or snow that they put salt on the road. Assuming you are getting snow?
Once the salt goes down it is put away.

Mine has been on stands since first of October for repairs.
Really wished it wasn't the last few weeks weather have been not too shabby. Usually end of October is end of season

Got a baby and a busy job. I put mine away every time I drive it. Been a couple months at this point...also, living in LB, there's no where within an hour worth driving so I try to take a "maintenance drive" around the city every few weeks but that's more of a chore than a pleasure.

Haha. Nice. I didn't have time for a drive but there were a few free moments near the end of nap time this weekend so I took the cover off and had a beer with her in the garage.

Mine stays parked in an underground parking deck, but I take it out and drive it whenever the roads are clear and the temperature is safe for my MPSS tires, generally above 45 degrees. I don't have anywhere to plug in a battery tender, so I like to drive it for a good 30-45 minutes at least once or twice a month to keep the battery charged.

My wife is still driving the Z between her apt in the city and our home in Niagara on the Lake weekly. I guess it'll be a few more weeks before the Z goes to bed for the winter but I guess it depends on weather.

All this talk about putting the cars away makes me want to go and drive it now.
