What did you do to your S2000 today?
Bought a new battery for it because I've only put 50 miles on it in 2 years. I never started it up. Just sat in my garage. I have depression and never leave my room. If I have to go somewhere, usually the gas station, I drive my 07 RDX. I need money and am selling my RDX unfortunately, so I'll be driving the S now. Which means I have to start it up every few days as I never go anywhere.
I'm in a condo so there's no electrical outlet near my car, so, I've just been disconnecting the negative terminal when I put the car into "hibernation"
Just leave a 10mm wrench in the glovebox! So far, I've never had any issues (did have a little bit of crystallization on the terminals after 3-4 years, but a toothbrush and some baking soda took care of that).
(although if you're in a garage, a battery tender would probably be better for the longterm health of your battery). It's probably more harmful for the car to just start it up every few days without driving it...
And maybe if it's a particularly-beautiful day, giving yourself time to just enjoy the car outside would be nice!
I went to get my '06 inspected to renew my registration. As I pulled in, I saw another Suzuka in line! I've seen a couple of red S's around, but not another Suzuka. While we waited, I struck up a conversation. His S is an '04 that he's owned since he bought it new from a dealership.
Started at 8 am this morning. Now it's in hibernation until April 13th. Such a sad, sad day. April she will come...But damn it sucks not being able to drive this machine for 5 months. I love this car. Driving this car is such a visceral experience. There are times when I am driving it and think to myself...Damn....just Damn...Other cars may win hearts in the showroom, but this car wins souls on the road...

I feel your storage pain... but out of curiosity why specifically April 13th? Here in Utah, my S2k is in hibernation from the first snow day until 2 weeks after snow is probably done for the year because they salt the crap out of the roads and this thing has ZERO underbody rust after living its entire life in Arizona and I'm not about to screw that up.
