What car? 
I'm calling the insurance company this week and getting the CRX-Si out this weekend I think. I have had it with winter and they are calling for 55 degrees (13) on Friday and Saturday.
As far as the CRX-Si is concerned, all I have to do is drop in the battery and turn the key, I did all the maintenance it needed in the fall.
As far as the S is concerned once it is on the road I will be taking it in for diff and tranny fluid changes because I'm up to almost 24,000 miles (38,000). I am replacing the rotors on the front my self and putting on '04 pads, the rears are fine. The other work the garage will do is NY State inspection, valve adjustment, check alignment, and I think that is about it.

No idea on the cost to do the fluid changes. I could do them myself, but knowing the car is already going to be at the dealer, they might as well do it so I don't have to deal with the mess.
For you guys who are going on their 3rd year, if you have not had your valves adjusted, stop dragging your feet, mine have been done twice already...

My car's always out. 
But in April when its consistently in the low to mid teens temp. range, here's my list of stuff to do
- put the S02's back on
- major wash and wax
- interior cleaning
- touch up my new family of stone chips
- diff, clutch, tranny fluid change
