In Pittsburgh they salt the roads until they're white so only get to take the Z out in the winter after a big rain.
At minimum up and down the driveway every 4 weeks and park a bit further in or shy of the previous location to avoid flat-spotting the tires.

Thanks. I just bought that lift in April. I'm 61 now and regret I didn't buy one 30 years ago!

Beautiful Z! And those wheels...really compliment the car nicely. (What kind of wheels and what sizes are they??)

Re: Let's see some "tucked away 4 winter" pics 😭
I bought my Direct Lift Pro Park 8S in 2012 and am glad I did. couldn't own a Vette without it due to 2 car garage.
My height was 10'-- technically about 9'8" at the front of the garage and about 10' near the door due to normal drainage slope. I have one 5' tall car and one 4' tall car, so that worked. In a 21'x21' garage with an 18' wide double door. I had to raise the garage tracks and install a jackshaft opener. Lots of pics in my Garage Lift album; just click my avatar. Pics of the sold '95 ZR-1 and the new 2016 Z06 up for the winters.--Bob

Re: Let's see some "tucked away 4 winter" pics 😭
I'll check tonight when i get home but i have the Backyard Buddy and found that i don't need to go to the max height, 1 notch below is fine for me (5'6") to reach what i need without crouching.
As Bob said, raising the garage door tracks was definitely required.
