Just woke my Z up from winter hibernation of 4 long months.
Removed the car cover, pulled the battery tender and checked all the fluids under the hood.
Then climbed inside and turned it “on” to check all lights, gauges, flashers and power are working fine.
All systems good to go - pressed the “Fire-that-Mother-Up” button and it roared back to life, purring like a tiger.
I simply sat there and enjoyed the sound for a good 20 min letting it warm up.

You’re probably saying to yourself “but you’re in Minnesota you fool (or just another fool from Minnesota) and you just had 6” of snow overnight, winter isn’t over yet. What are you thinking?!?”

Well, I’m leaving Saturday for a multi-week drive to Florida … then out to Utah. Tomorrow I’m having new tires put on (giving Firestone Indy 500’s a try) and also having tranny and diff. fluids swapped out with Redline products.

Wish me well!
