A little early this year but I had to do it.

Fogged the motor, drained the oil, and put packs of Grandpa Gus's mouse repellent in the car. Then I put the 73 on the lift for the winter.

Always a sad day in the fall, at least for those of us in the middle and northern tier states.  Folks in the southern tier states are probably just beginning to enjoy nice driving weather!

No yet! Can't make myself do storage. Maybe, just maybe there will be an opportunity to get out again. Last cruise of the year is this coming Saturday. Gotta keep it available for a moment's notice to ride again!

Hope you put something under the hood.  I found that traps work well.

Norsky is right.  Down here in the south (about 35 miles northeast of Atlanta), the driving fun has really begun.  May be a bit cool for t-tops being off but a drive up into the north Georgia mountains leaf-looking and taking U.S. 129, G.A. 60 or G.A 75 (no interstates, just nice curvy mountain roads) is nothing but a joy this time of year.  But then, ANYTIME driving a C3 is a joy, so there's that....   And as long as your C3 is garaged, you can drive year-round.
