It has been cold these days. I would like to get all the preparation done before it gets really cold. Sucks to have an unheated garage.

Search the site for preparation. Or look at the manual. I myself learned my lesson when the original battery died on me. This winter, I plan to take the battery out and store it inside. Put the car up in jacks.

In case you can't find it, below is a compilation taken from s2ki.com.

I am about 50 miles Northeast of him in the Flint area and it was just snowing when I looked outside. Only a few flurries, but it is definitely coming sooner than any of us want.

Is it time to get ready for winter already?
