[QUOTE=CTMechE,Sep 25 2008, 10:05 AM] I don't have a garage, but I do have snow tires. I'll probably put 'em on when the daytime temp starts getting below 60

John

The OEM cover is only for indoor or dry weather use.

I need to get a good car cover for it this winter, though... any recommendations for a good outdoor cover?
Cover craft

We bought our outdoor cover here. Very happy with it. Fit is great, and it's machine washable.

Rick waxes the CAR covers it up, and when cover is removed car looks great!

OEM cover works the same way for me, just have to take it off if it
is going to rain.

Does Rick find that the waxed card swipes through the reader more smoothly?

Too late, Bill quoted it for posterity.

SFactor!

I remove any insurance that would only be used if the car was moving
(collision, liability, towing etc.) and keep things like fire and theft on.

I still have a loan out on it but what they don't know won't hurt them, besides
I keep the coverage on there for anything that might happen while it's sitting
idle in storage.

Saves me a couple hundred a year.
As others have mentioned MA is slightly more regulated than NH, you can't dump liabillity without turning in your plates, re-regestring in the spring. the re regestration fee makes it just slightly less of an economic advantage, this past year the lady at the RMV experimented by giving me a plate number that was tagged for the previous month, it meant it expired in 13 months instead of the regular 24. the funny month experiment saves a whopping $20, on top of the typical savings. I'll have to recheck the math to see exactly how much going the RMV twice and aksing them nicely is saving me. Oh and i should mention that i live a whole mile from a not rediculously busy RMV, if i had to use the one in chinatown forget it.

Sounds like a tech day activity. "Wax your card meet." We could combine this with "polishing your knob."

Yes, I called to find out that my S2000 coverage is so closely tied into my other coverages that I may not be able to do anything other than cancel the registration if I want to save money.
