Default Away for the Winter

Well, that time of year in Wisconsin. Dropped the full insurance, put the winter coat of wax on it, changed the oil, new gas at 3/4 full mark, checked the tires, and put the winter pajamas (car cover) on my S2000. No snow on the ground yet but know it is around the corner. 28,5K miles on my MY2002. Obviously not my daily driver but my coffee getter. Can't wait for March!

Hmmm. I always fill my tank 100% so that there is no room for condensation.

But I also get it out every 2-3 weeks during the winter. So mine does not sit for 3 months straight.

"I'ts the least wonderful time of the year......" for us in the snow belts.

I am prepping mine for its long winter hibernation. I have an 2002 as well, and it's just under 23k miles.

Looks like Neuronbob and I are driving the same car with similar miles. I also have the hardtop on my2002 which I love for the short late fall early spring driving I use it for. Totally changes the look and drive of our cars.

I will also take the guidance from other members to add Stabil and fill it up.
