Re: Camaro VS Snow..

Re: Camaro VS Snow..

I had to keep my car outside last year and I did a bunch of stuff to it and moisture still got underneath and rotted out a fuel line.
I covered up the tailpipes and used some steel wool and bounce sheets because they are supposed to keep rodents away.

I put a small tray of baking soda on the floor inside to help with moisture. I put fuel stabilizer and gas line anti freeze in also.

I never put mine on jackstands and I had one semi flat tire in the spring, filled it back up and it hasnt leaked since.

I couldnt get my battery out either so I just unhooked it and it fired right up no problem after all those months.

chicago has cold ass winters besides that natural diasters are limited. They happen in Illinios but not near me.

Re: Camaro VS Snow..

This is what I normally drive around in.

But the Z3 is almost as bad in the snow as the Formula so It really depends more on what type of mood i'm in which car I take out in the snow and I'm like the best driver ever (really I deserve a plaque) so snow/ice/freezing rain/oil slicks/huricanes/monsoon/lava. is no match for my superior driving skills.

Re: Camaro VS Snow..

as long as your not stupid, and parking it on grass, you should be fine.

I would try to lift it up as far as possible so it airs out more quickly, and isnt just rotting out the underside.

Re: Camaro VS Snow..

formula.. it doesnt matter a whole hell of a lot if you're the best driver in the world when the worst driver in the world pulls out right in front of you when you're doing like 45 in the snow.....
