Well, as the title says, I HAD to take the Boxster out of the garage and take it for some runs this morning! I just had this desire and could not resist any longer.
Well, good thing I did! First, I feel really good now, second, I think it was necessary.
-In storage since end October, under a cover, in my garage, dry and cool, charged battery once 3 weeks ago, locked.
-Car started on the first try, no problem at all, like it was yesterday and not after 6 plus weeks.
-The front brakes made some funny noise during the first few miles, I checked and it looks like the pads left a mark on the rotors during storage, needed some driving/braking to clean up.
-The tires were flat spotted (HTZR3), took a while to get some heat in there and get them back to normal.
Lessons learned:-
-Charge battery ever so often or use a tender, we know that!
-Rotate tires or get them off the ground, otherwise there might be a problem flatspotting them.
-Best thing to do for car and soul, drive every 2 weeks, that's what I'll do
-Dust gets into everywhere........
Later,
Andy
