My 06 coupe has been up on the lift and under the cover plugged into the battery tender for just one month and I'm ready to take her out to get the fluids moving and enjoy the 55° day.

Anyone else taking their snakes out this weekend in the north east?

They are calling for a high of @45 here on Long Island today. Just might have to unhook the snake from the tender and do the same!

The hourly forecast is calling for 41F most of the day today here in Ohio...... Very tempting. If nothing else I am backing the car out of the garage just so I can hear the car come to life.

Just got in from a 50 mile drive in the 03 after C&C this morning. It's absolutely gorgeous out today. Roads still a little grimey here and there from last week's storm, but she'll clean up OK. I've really only misses two weekends all winter not getting her out (due to weather).

Guess I should have gotten it out this morning!

Sounds like a plan. I'll be there so long as the white stuff holds out.

I've gotten to meet Steve already, just not out early enough on Saturday's to meet you guys at the C&C.

D$#%^$&, Went yo start the car and it is dead. New battery installed a 1 1/2 months ago. Never had this problem.

The cars a GEN II. Should I jack it up and take the wheel off to get to the battery and charge it or is there an alternate location that will work?

Do you have a battery tender on it? If not this is a must have. Viper will drain a battery completely dead in no time

Dropped my car off at Roanoke Dodge this morning to have it checked out. 130 miles, we have not even had a winter here in Chicago. I probably should of never said that, but its true.

swexlin/carlo,
do you guys use sinders/ash or something on your roads? We use salt in Ohio! I need to wait until we get 3 good rains in the spring to know the roads are washed off.

I put the Stabil in the gas a couple months ago but I wound up doing a quick run yesterday myself.

Actually, PA is the salt capitol of the world! The roads can be white with it. But, we have had a couple rains this week, and most of it is gone. There were a few spots here and there, but the detail spray took care of most of it.

Hey Bob, here's a thought... you think we can get our hands on a few of those wrenches the fire dept. uses to crack open the fire hydrants? :rolleyes: hmmm

Excellent idea! Except this winter we have had only one decent snow storm (the Halloween storm that dropped trees everywhere). I'm afraid the water table is pretty close to bottoming out.

But maybe we can open the hydrants on the scenic, winding roads.:)

Thats the one step I left out last month so I added stabil today to my full tank before a 5 mile burst around town today to circulate the gas and get fluids temps up and moving.
