Default those whose S is in storage

My S2000 has been cover and sitting in my garage since Mid Oct. Everyday I'm checking the weather to see if it'll warm up at all. It's driving me crazy. It doesn't help that I'm ordering parts left and right for her. Anyone else have this problem?

Nope highs predicted in the 50s and 60s for the next 2 weeks.

^ lucky, it's been in the 20's or lower for the last month or so. I don't remember the last time I saw grass.

Mine is driven through all weather. Couldn't imagine parking it for a few months. Is impossible to get out of my driveway sometimes though. RE050's and the snow don't work too well together.

Ah, looks like you'd been bitten more than once by the MOD bug. It's ok, depending on what kind of job you have, it can last longer or until your wallet goes empty.
All jokings aside, just throw in some Sta-Bil and hook up a battery charger to the battery, you should be set.

Yes, I have this problem. I just bought a SC, exhaust, and new wheels and tires for my garaged S. Since October, I have driven it once, and that was during a (rare) warm day at the end of December. Battery charger is on and fuel stabilizer is in the tank.

62 days until April 1st (my self-imposed first driving day of the season, though if March is decent I will pull it out of the garage then) and counting!

Lol I remember that warm day in December. I too had to take it out on that day. I also am hoping for a 60 degree day in March. That first 60+ degree day after February makes me feel human again.

The first 70 degree weather day in January makes me feel human again.
