I also got mine out on that 60 degree day a few weeks back. I drove it about 6 miles total, just to get tires back in round. Totally forgot that I took full coverage off of it, but luckily I live out in the country with few cops. Also, battery tender is the way to go in my eyes. Connect it, plug it in, and check on it later! I hope spring comes soon for all of us!!

(sorry.. insurance talk always raises a flag with me 
)On a side note, I will admit there have been times I have started to back the S out of the garage only to remember that I only have Comp on it and need to change it. I got better with this and started leaving a sticky on the steering wheel reminding me..
Tires back in round? Do you add more air to the tire when storing? I'll have to look it up but there is a pretty good FAQ on winterizing your car... I'll see if i can find it..

Does it save you that much to reduce your coverage during the winter. I keep mine on full coverage cause I never know when I might want to go for a drive. Just wondering....

Look at your dec page... you should have an itemized list of the coverages that you have and the premium that you are carrying.. Ohio requires liability.. UM-UIM, UMPD, MedPay are optional... and unless you have a leinholder, Comp/Collision is optional as well. So, look at your policy, take out the coverages that you have and just look at your Comp premium.. Unless the carrier you have has behind-the-scenes factors that adjust comp rate based on factors tied to your coverage selection (like UMPD), then the Comp premium is most likely what you would be paying if you are "storing" the car.
So, for the majority of the year, I carry just Comp on the S2000...
