Flatstoppers, if you have a set, is very convenient. it's nice to know that the tires are off the cold concrete during the winter too. it's a 'place the car on them and forget about it' deal. i dont start the car at all once in hibernation cause it will introduce steam inside the midpipes, oil temps dont get that high, premature cycling of the a/c, etc. i use to start the car and move it around in my garage, etc long time ago but it's too much hassle and introduce more bad than good.

as for stabil. i dont use it. my hibernation isn't really that long. 3months average, 3.5months max. i suppose if you must park the car for a long time like over 6months i would consider using it.

Yeah, about 3 to 4 months for me.... she gets stored mid to late November (depending on when snow drops), then I try to get her going at March-ish. Yeah I still start her up 1x a month, I've been doing it for years, and no issues. I just like to get things going and moving in there. I leave it running oh, close to 1/2 hour, and meantime, moving it around in the garage every so often. Then gets trickle charged... It's no big deal, plus I want to hear engine run

Red, why taking it back to stock, even stock MAF tubes? Someone bought it and wanted it stock? or still just selling?

Z-wise today, don't hate me but, I have a dealer appointment for my Odyssey, which happens to be next to the Audi dealer. They have a 3.2 Quattro A5 there that's in mint condition, in Black again... 6 speed manual. The though of being able to bring my wife and kids at the same time has tickled me. So, I'm just test driving it for $h!ts and giggles.... we'll see. Don't hate me
