    Put my car carefully away for the winter, washed, fuel topped up, factory car cover.

    Now, we're getting several 60+ degree sunny days in February. About a week ago I said to myself, "getting her up to temperature and the wheels rolling will be good for her." Even got to cycle the top as it was convertible weather.

    But three days later, it was an even better day. And today the same.

    This is really playing havoc on us North Eastern owners.

    No, every other winter played havoc on NE owners...this winter has been the exception :)

    I've been driving the car pretty much every weekend, did a couple of dinners with the wife, hit the C&C meet...this has been the BEST winter for a sports car owner :)

    As long as no snow or salt on the road...I drive my baby. I always had special interest cars and never believed in winterizing them. Unless of course it snowed like last year. Drive, drive, drive. It's a car. That's what it was built for.

    Had mine out last weekend as well.

    I have a "Sharper Image" air compressor so I can inflate the tires while it sits, but I really dont ever winterize.. No salt and 40 Degrees or more and I weekend drive.
    Snow tonite so this weekend is a goner.
