I put my Vett in storage on Dec 15th, after owning it a mere 2 weeks only. :swear:
Needless to say this winter has been killing me, but today it's nice and clear...streets are dry so....I caved
For winter storage I had originally disconnected the battery, parked it on garage foam mats, and put a Vett car cover on it. Did the whole Baking Soda and Bounce Drier sheets thing too.
Then earlier this morning I reconnected the battery...and....it purred like a kitten on the first start up.
Actually I was surprised that the radio remained programmed, the clock no...of course that had to be reset but otherwise it was a real simple start up!
Sure felt good driving it...and it's going to be a great summer in that regard.
As I expected the tires left indentations in the foam mats, so my guess is that they did their job. I had the entire floor under the car covered in those mats...and other than keeping the tires round I have no idea if they served any other purpose, but I guess it felt good knowing they were there as a barrier to the concrete garage floor. Still, probably overkill.
Manny's advice on storage by way of just disconnecting the battery was absolutely the way to go for me....so thanks again Manny!
Folks enjoy your rides, and stay safe!
