There is still patches of snow in my neighborhood.
I wiped her down and she is tucked away again. 
I don't know how long this time but I'll look forward to our time together.
I hate winter even more now.  The southern states are calling.  |
why do you do this? you're going to have vapor in the midpipe (exhaust) and your oil temp is too low to get the moisture out of the engine. you're also putting burden on your battery and alternator. if you're going to fire her up, go drive it at least until your oil temp is 180F (15min or so minimum).
or do it like us. dont start the car at all, leave it plugged in, placed on flatstoppers.
