Mine will be going to bed in a couple weeks. I always do one last wash before storing, and getting you hands wet in 40-degree weather is not fun. I don't drive in Wisconsin winters because the roads get salted so much every time it snows. Salt + Water = Corrosion.

Plus, I see no benefit in paying the insurance costs to drive a few times between mid-November and mid-April (or as in the case this past year, mid-May).

Exactly. Plus who wants to drive a car with 4 inches of clearance over roads with 6 inch ruts.

I've got a few more drives I hope before I have to put her to bed. Heck, 18 degrees celcius today, so had the top down for a bit!

And frankly I'd rather keep the insurance on her for those lucky few drives then lock her up already. Insurance is not that expensive, around here anyways.

75* here in New York today. Pretty wild weather here a few days back it was in the 40's.
I got to take advantage of my new to me 02 , dropped the top and took a nice ride.
Lots of Sunday garage queens on the road along with plenty of motor cycles
