Re: Winter Storage - Run it, or leave it?
I run them when I can in the winter. They need to get exercise too. I try to run both A's once a month weather permitting. Life is too short! Enjoy them, they probably both will out live me anyway and the kids aren't interested. They like their Toyotas.

Per General Collin Powell (paraphrased) on Iraqi tanks hunkered down during DS1...
"Our jets keep their tanks buried and they are scared to start them up". "Leave a piece of machinery idle long enough and it won't run when you need it to run."

Then...when you say so, we'll send her back up to Ontario...with a full tank of fuel, a freshly charged battery, and all clean an polished for your Summer enjoyment. But...you must hurry...this is a one time offer that may be withdrawn wth no notice.

The original leather interior has become quite fragile and I don't think it would hold up to that kind of abuse. |

Re: Winter Storage - Run it, or leave it?
Sorry...but I cannot make that promise.
I'm just a rhumba kinda guy, I guess...I refuse to change. But, I'll take good care of your car over the Winter months, nonetheless. Hell, I'll even disconnect the speedo so the miles I put on her won't show...I'll change the oil and keep her lubed, too. You'll get her back in as good, if not better condition than when I got her. But...no...no promises on the rhumba thing....
