i don't know if i'll do much this winter because i'm not working, last winter was the big change ( ram air hood and airbox and of course paint for the hood as well as getting the roof repainted behind the t-tops. all together around $1200)
i just keep my car in the garage with the cover on it. here's a pic of said garage, lol

winter plan? not slide into a ditch. its my only car but its not used often as I don't commute to college. im thinking it may be a good idea to leave it at home for the winter and have my roomates drive me though if this winter was as bad as the last one. (Michigan weather = blah)

Stored under a cover till spring :(
Debating whether or not to pay for a garage(non heated) or just cover it up real good outside in the back yard.

Pretty much the same here, did the cam valvetrain etc last winter and an extra camswap this summer so no major engine mods for a while even though im already used to the new power and want more :jest:
We dont have winter in Georgia. :laugh:
:jest:
Sometimes I dont understand why I live here when there are places without winters :pinch: I hate winter!!

Unfortunately, my car will be driven over the winter. I'm going to try avoid driving it whenever possible.
I dont really have any set plans yet though. I'd like to possibly put a mild cam in it.

I want to get mine totally back together and running well, then drive the crap out of it in the beautiful cool weather. Although, November & December is looking kinda busy... I may not make it to the track. I love the track only being closed for a week or 2 for "winter" :D

Plans for this winter?
- LE 2s with either GM 847 or something custom.
- LE ported intake OR that ported LT1 HSR GGPC was putting togeather on LS1tech.com.
- Injectors obviously
- LTs/ORY and maybe some TDs
- More tuning.
- Going to need some new cruising tires next season also...
- A blown 10 bolt
I dont have to pay for the last one though.
