Jim, no argument here. Just a serious concern before I decide which is better: to hibernate the car 100% for the winter or drive it once-twice a month just to get its juices flowing.

If I "put it to sleep", how much better do you think will be a heated (temp controlled) vs a cold garage? If the advantage is significant I may want to spring for a heated storage for extra $/mth.

I can't help thinking that all these fitted engine parts must have varying temperature expansion coefficients, so they must contract/expand at different rates as the temp fluctuates. Does the RMS really have the same coefficient as the metal parts around it?

Thx much, as always.
Z.
