Thanks for the great advice
The snow melted this week and the ice storm almost missed us here in VA. I guess I'll take the vette out for a drive , now that the roads are clear then I'll change the oil and filter..putting in new 5w30 synthethic oil. I only put about 1K miles on it since I bought it in Sept, ( I'm not sure when it was last changed) but it's probably time to change it to get out the moisture that may have built up due to temp changes over the past 12 months.
After that, I'll put the trickle charger on it every couple of weeks and only start it when I take it out for a drive. It doesn't get that bad here for more than 30-60 days each winter so my main concern will be road salt on the undercarriage . I suppose the rain may have washed some it off the roads this weekend.
I still need the Beer fridge though, and I'm debating whether to put the car cover on it . I can't decide what's worse...the dust that collects on the car without the cover, or not being able to see the paint sparkle every morning when I walk through the garage to get the paper. It's a tough call.
So may choices.. so few days to sit and ponder the complexity of these problems. Thanks for the great advice!
