Never! Central texas doesnt have harsh winters. Things close down when there is the slightest trace of ice on the road; I dont even think salt trucks exist within a 100 mile radius. I kinda like driving in the winter because it's better than sweating my *** off driving in the summer.

Ill probably put mine away just before it snows. Ive actually been daily driving it the last 4 days even though its cold out and it doesnt have heat right now. Ill probably switch cars later tonight because the other car gets 30+ mpg compared to this car's 14.

It was really cold up here this last week but no snow yet. It's 50 degrees out actually today and took her for a spin and got pulled over for the very first time since the engine swap, verbal warning for exhaust, boo...

Last Year I had it out until November 17.

Last year it went in the garage in early november, and its still out of commision since then. Now i'm on the verge of it being done, just straped on cash right now to finish it, but i'm sure i wont get to drive it untill the spring unless i move to texas, which would be great by the way
