Just picked up my 2006 Solstice, I have wanted this car since it came out but at the time needed a car I was able to drive in winter. Fast forward I finaly got her, red with only 12701 miles. Now I sit with her in my garage waiting for this snow to stop flying. I live near toronto and normaly we are just finished with this stuff by now. Love your forums. Take care

P.s How do you post photos

Welcome to the forum. Tell us more about your car

Welcome San - we recently had another "northern neighbor" that bought a Solstice. He mentioned how you can make winter drag on forever - just put a Solstice in your garage!

To post pics you have to use a photo sharing site like photobucket.com. You then copy the [img....] code for the picture and past it into your post.

Obviously, your new wheels have the correct color . . . what's that white stuff on the car?

Enjoy!

snow on a solstice . . .

Then again, Canada doesn't typically use salt on the roads, right?

(grew up in Sault Ste. Marie on the Michigan side.)

Wrong.:devil: Lot's of salt is used. Right now it is dry and you can see big chunks of salt on the roads. Will take a good rain then no more snow to get the "Sol Season" rolling!!!!!:thumbs:

Bought my insurance today. Time to start driving the summer car here in BC !

 

[Sly Bob]

Yeah I'm not far from Northern Sol and the roads here are white with salt. I'll be waiting a while yet before I get her majesty out of the garage. :yesnod:

Wifey couldn't wait. Ours took a run on some twistys nearby and into town for lunch. Weather has been good for several days so the pavement has been clean and dry. Temp was 25 this morning so the dirt road we live on was frozen - no mud flinging. Minimal dirt upon our return.

And yes, it's driving me bats so I'll be going out to turn on the heater in the garage and wash it soon!

 

[DaveOC]

28°F outside and bright sun, expecting snow tomorrow, so took him out of his comfy spot in the garage for about 25 miles of exercise and getting everything up to operating temperature. There are others out there with the itch too, saw a Z4 and a Miata.

Now back inside for at least another 2 weeks while we take a little trip in the truck.

Later! :willy:

 

[rob the elder]

Took both cars on a short run yesterday. 60 and sunshine. Snow by Saturday. Springtime in the Rockies.

Eastern Canada is where we keep all our federal politicians - freezing in the dark half the year.

Cars from that area tend to get lower annual mileages than here on the west (sometimes 'wet') coast where we tend to drive them all year round (King-oka lives in the interior of BC where it gets cold in winter and while he could drive it all year, it wouldn't be any fun in winter, so why bother?)

[Tazdeana]

Every time I think I might be able to get mine out the white stuff appears. I agree Winter needs to be gone!
