When Are You Putting Your Car Away For Winter?

LMBmikeZ · 10-20-2012, 10:15 PM

For the battery all you need to do is disconnect it. It will be fine if your only storing it for the winter.

The same can be said for flat spots with today's tires you don't have to worry about flat spots when the car is sitting for 5-6 months. If it wa long term then I would understand the concern but 5-6 months is not really that long.

I have stored my Z every year so far (this being #3 as well) and can say I've had no issues with it come the spring. I can say the same about my old z (z32) I never had a problem and stored that car 3 times while I owned it before getting my 370.

But if you disconnect your battery you have to redo all your settings and if I'm not mistaken on roadsters you have to reprogram your window drop on opening the door. I went with a battery buddy and haven't had to reprogram anything

Yes it is same for a coupe but honestly it's not a big deal. All you have to do is hold down each window switch to reset that option, it's not hard at all. Only other thing to reset is the clock on the center gauge cluster. Eveything else stays!

My Gauge clock and my nav clock never match either way lol
