Default F Hibernation...

Sad day, but glad she gets to keep her record of never seeing snow intact:

The clock near the door is actually an F clock where the clock is the rotor and the caliper is on the left.

That is a best way for the F in winter.



I have to wait until April. Than the F is back on the road. The time of waiting is hard......

No snow in MD yet which makes me hesitant to put her away, but I know if I take her out it will precipitate in some form and I will then have to clean her all over again before storage, and the next time it will probably be freezing cold when I have to do so. I figure that it was a good run through most of December and storage for Jan-March is reasonable.

Given the erratic winter weather here in the mid-Atlantic, I limit my car's hibernation to snow and/or wet roads only. If the roads are dry & relatively salt-free, I'm driving it!
I cannot resist the force.

Though, you may have a nicer alternate vehicle compared to my beater pick-up, so perhaps it's easier for you to leave the IS-F in the garage.

My beater. With Blizzaks and a manual it goes anywhere in the snow...as long as it's not deep! When it gets real bad we take the wife's suv.
