March 17th
 

It was 14 degrees here this morning. Unbelievable! Last year in the 70's. I'm gonna take her out after the salt is washed off and drive her down the highway, slowly at first till she runs nice and hot.

I personally don't start up my car unless I plan to pull it out and give it a drive for 1+ hours. No *real* reason, but it makes sense to me. Put it away in November, took it out for one day in January, and then just this weekend have been out. No issues other than condensation.


And the snow from Saturday night that I got caught in...

I also didn't do anything special. Car cover came late and I didn't do a very good wash before snow hit, since it's my first winter with a nice car and I kept it out until the last minute, which I won't do again. :) Didn't detach the battery or hook anything up to it (I have no outlets in the garage it is stored in).

Ordinarily I just disconnect the flux capacitor and the machine the goes "ping!" for the winter.

This year was so bad I had trouble finding days to run it long enough to get the temp up and the water out of the exhaust. So I did laps around the neighborhood every couple of weeks. Sometimes I even took the Z.

I'm driving it everyday as soon as this weather breaks....

Your weather sucks too. This is getting ridiculous.

:rofl2: i luvs professordave. :icon17:

My battery died over this winter because I didn't put a battery tender on it. Oh darn :rolleyes:. I think I found a reason to buy a Braillie light weight battery. :tiphat:

I should really just take the OEM battery out and have Autozone charge/test it first.

Surprisingly bad and long winter.

We have a winter tire law here. You must have winter tires on between December 15 and March 15th, so most people just store their nice cars between that time.

Usually on the 15th I'm itching and waiting to pull the Z out...not so much this year, its like -12 (Celcius) and ice and snow all over....worst pothole season I've seen also.

I'm off the the Caribbean this Saturday for a week, I guess I'll worry about taking her out of storage April 1st :(

I don't feel bad for you. :icon23:

lol, the trip will help ease the storage blues :icon17:

The way this winter is going I hope the weather breaks before I come see you in June for the Grand Prix. Bad enough sitting there in the wet the last couple years, but I hate cold! I hope it's 99F like it was in 1999. Everyone but us 2 from Chicago were bitching about the heat...I learned long ago, there is no such thing as too hot. Especially after this winter.

Haven't started my car since October and only been pushingit around once a month. :D

Harry has been reintroduced to the roads!!!! Good bye winter! Hello hot car...

:tup: nice, msbc!

they are calling for 10-15 cm of snow tonight....seriously?? This winter is neverending.

:shakes head:
