There are quite a few folks who have no intentions of driving these cars during the winter months.

Unless you have like an 85 civic to drive I don't see the point. And even still I couldn't walk last my brz every day and get into another car, and my other car is a heavy modded Evo x. I love driving my brz

I have an 03 Acura CL that will be driven during the winter. Its not worth driving the FR-S in the snow or dealing with all the sand/salt/rocks/ice that's on the roads. My CL also has snow tires and heated seats. The FR-S doesnt.

So yea, it may not be the Ferrari or Porsche that are typically deserving of being stored for the winter, but theyre our brand new cars. We'd still like to take care them.

I do plan on taking the car for a spin whenever I can just to keep things moving. The worst thing to do is let the car sit for months on end.

I'm really starting to dread looking in on this thread. WTF
Pages of chit chat and useless off topic banter has pretty much made this a real PIA.

It's simple, only read the posts by Visconti. Those are the only ones that matter. Other than that, it's a forum...

Anyone know if there's cold weather compensation during start up in injector pulse width / fueling in the e85 tune yet? Not sure its been discussed, may have missed it. 45 degrees here tonight and got a funky start with a misfire and cel--went away when it was warmed up and I restarted.
