I will be home from school for 9 days next week. My car is stored (covered, fuel stab, fresh oil, fresh wax, etc) since August. Would there be a big difference in whether I let it sit till spring, or drive it for a week? What would you do? Thanks!

 

if the weather is good,F it,i say drive it.

 

y would u have to let it sit till spring? ohhhh, you guys got snow , ahhh its nice down here, we dont have to worry about that , but to answer ur question, ya id cruise ur z one last time before winter if the weather isnt bad,

 

Atleast we dont have mexicans jumping the fence into our back yard

 

dont worry, their already starting to make there way up north, im not sure if u noticed, but people want to live down here, thats why in the last census, all the north lost people but we gained, what does mass. have on texas?? nothing

 

F.Y.I. no snow in Chicago yet. But soon. I'd say drive it as long as it's nice.

 

Everything's bigger in texas, including the number of dumbasses and the size of their egos.


Oh, and drive it.

 

Despite the fact that I'm cold starting it for a week of driving, only to let it sit for another 4 months - i should drive it?

 

One cold start isnt going to hurt a thing.

 

It doesn't have to be cold - plug in the block heater some time before you start it.

I start my car up once a month in winter - I plug it in five hours before everytime.

Their toast is bigger too!

...I drive mine all winter... DO IT!!!

 

i didnt mean that they alreayd had snow, i meant that they have to deal w snow in the winter

 

Most of the cars don't have the block heater.. I see your in Canada.. I believe a lot of the Canadian cars got that, but here in the US not that many.. [so he probably doesn't have one..]

Drive it.. and especially if you get home every few months, keep on doing it..

 

i say drive it otherwise youll just ask urself why you didn't when your break is over.

 

My biggest concern is driving it, and than not being able to properly clean it before I store it again. After thanksgiving break, it would only be about 2 weeks before I would be able to drive it again - the car is garage kept, so i could always pour some water over it and clean it decently.

That's it, I cant keep talking about it - I need to drive the damn thing.

Im driving it all this week, cleaning it good enough for it to sit another 2 weeks, then when I'm on winter break I'll keep it out for a week or so until the weather gets worse, snowy, etc and I'll store it till spring then.

ALSO: My oil was fresh when I stored it, if I drive it and let it sit again, will the oil still be fine to sit until spring? Also, if so - when should I next change it - after how many miles or months? Remember, it was fresh at the end of august, and has been sitting indoors since then. Should I change it in spring or is it good for a little longer? Thanks guys!
