It’s time to winterize my Miata. Makes me so sad when she goes into hibernation. I drive her daily if the weather isn’t too bad and I don’t need extra room.

Is anyone else winterizing?

    I put mine away around Halloween usually. My daily has over twice the ponies and way more creature comforts, so unless it’s top down weather, it’s hard to justify dealing with all bumps and rattles of a 20+ year old lowered miata just to drive the freeway to work and back.

    There are those rare bright sunny frigid days in the winter where it would be fun to bundle up and go for a joyride though…

    Also, who tf is downvoting OP for posting a legit topic in a community that desperately needs the activity?

      Mine is a 2020 model so it has some more modern luxuries that make it fun to drive even with the top up. My daily driver is a 4Runner so it’s an entirely different experience.

    I pulled the battery from her two days ago, and closed the garage door for the last time in next few months. Sleep well little thing … see you in March.

    You’re right, It always feels a bit sad.

      I’m waiting to do it this weekend. There hasn’t been any snow in my area yet. I’ve been waiting for the first snow before putting her away. Snow usually shows up before now, so I’m lucky I got some extra weeks to cruise around.
