Getting a set of Michelin x-Ice tires Monday. They work better in the snow than Blizzaks. Since we get far more snow then ice in MN, that's my choice. Also have plugs and wires planned soon since she just crossed 29K. That's about it. Oil change will see recommended 5-20 oil. May go heavier in the summer from what I have been reading.

Put it in the back of the garage and hook up the trickle charger.

To store it for 6 months, would it help to squirt some ATF into the engine for each rotor? The goal would be to keep the seals freed up.

Just did a serious detailing, put a beautiful coat of wax on it and rain-x on all the glass. Gotta look good as I slide sideways down the street!
