I also just put mine away until April also. I can't wait for April to come! I will be attending my first track day after she comes out and get an oil change and what not.

Wow. That must be tough not driving your car for four months. Do you ever take it out if you get a couple of warm, dry days?

Why put a great winter car in the garage simmer?

We just go a foot (30 cm) of snow last Sunday - Monday and yes,
it was not fun to drive, but not a too big of an problem anyway.

What do drive in the winter?
