Yes I'm going to be storing Anthracite during the winter months but still have a few more opportunities for a great fall drive.

Put away?

Hell no, I have a set of extra rims and winter snow for my M3.

Didn't need them last year however.

Awesome. None of my friends with M3s will drive them out here in the rain. Something about them melting...

The car just got its first set of all season tires since I've owned it. The bike will be going under its cover, but will probably make it out occasionally on weekend afternoons.

Hah, that's really lame. I'd even drive a '13 M3 in the snow. It'd be a blast!

If that's where "Anthracite" lives in the summer, why bother storing!????

That's what my garage wishes it looked like!!! NICE!!!

And like some others, what's winter?

Daughter has her car at college, so all of mine are tucked safely in their own bays.
