Thank you very much, I'll get to searching!

You're Welcome!

Some people go all out when prepping their cars for winter. I have read of people changing the oil just prior to storage, run it up to temp and park it. Then change it again in the spring again. (with zero mileage on the oil) Most people put a battery maintainer on the cars to keep the battery up. Otherwise your battery will be flat and you will not be able to use the remote to open the car and or the frunk to get to the battery. Look at re-routeing your emergency frunk cable opener and verifying that it actually operates.

Also look at rodent proofing, if you are going to store your car. Woody just had a rat make a buffet of one of his wiring harnesses.

On the flip side, there are owners who buy a second set of rims with winter tires and drive them all year. Personally, I would go through withdrawals if I couldn't drive mine for several months. We don't do winter here. I just put my hardtop on, if the weather is going to be wet for more than a couple of days.

IMO, drive it, and hard. It's not a sugar cube.
