That seems kind of backwards until you realize that the civic doesn't have any factory parts left on it other than the doors and some of the interior.

Seems like a long time to let a car sit between drives!

I store my cars in a car bag with desiccants, put Stabil in the gas tank and take out the battery.

I drive mine almost every day, in any weather.

I bought the tough Nissan instead of the vintage Porsche for a reason...

One of my 2020 new year's resolutions is to drive the Z more. But even with that said, it will remain in the garage when ever it's raining or snowing.

To be completely honest, I enjoy driving the Z in the rain. It is a good opportunity to have some fun sliding the rear end around without beating up the tires too much
