Was kind of surprised . Put the car away end of last September did nothing to it other then top off tank . Taking it in next week to get the rest of it painted so I had to see if it would start we had nights in the 30 below range during the winter . Was going to put the charger on it but decided to give it a try , First turned it over without pumping it and the oil pressure jumped right up . Then it started and ran fine after the second time I pumped it . Didn't take it out because of snow on the ground but did let it run for a while . Today I will go out and check all the fluid levels , saw some spots under it . May try to shovel it out .

but powerball amd megamillions will give you enough to paint it 2 1/2 times, maybe 3

You should look for rodent families when you get it dug out. They like the heater system. If you find any shredded material when you turn on the blowers you may have some cleaning to do.

Congrats on the startup!

Have to clean it out almost every year . Been putting moth ***** in and around it for the last few years seems to help a little . Then i do a total kill in the spring , start the car and let it run for around 20 minutes with the garage all closed up . when I open the garage door anything in there is usually laying dead on the floor .

Place Bounce Dryer Sheets everywhere around the interior.
