I was able to get mine out at least once a week. Never would have imagined the first winter with my Z to be like that. I was prepared for slow, painful torture.

But it makes me think we're all going to fry this summer...

That's one nice thing I like about the dump I live in, it's warm enough to drive sports cars year-round with the exception of a few weeks every other year.

I just picked up my Z yesterday as well from storage. Is there anything I need to do now that I have the car out? I had the oil changed with synthetic right before storage so am I good or do I need to get it changed again? Anything else I should be doing to keep it properly maintained? I drove mine up til mid December so I don't have as many months in storage.

Also, seeing the Z again in the spring is the FREAKIN BEST thing ever. Driving it around town and getting used to all the rubber necking again is just great. Such a gorgeous car.

I would say im jelly, BUT the weather here in the northeast mainly in CT was soooo nice today that I actually loved driving the Z the whole day. Took her through some twisties too.

I came here with the exact same question. Is it best to baby the car for a while after it comes out of storage?

It's time to take the cover off up in Canada, winter has been exceptionally warm with little snow. In fact, I had her out in January just for a day though before we were pounded by -49C (-56F).
