First drive in a month. Had car covered with a tender hooked up.
Started right up. Car filled the garage with exhaust (door was open)
and smoke, I was a little surprised at how much. I was cautious
at first (cold tires &used to an Accord) but a few miles down the
got on it a bit. A fun afternoon

Glad you had some clear weather for some fun.
Nothing like hitting that go pedal for some fun and getting the blood flowing.

Last week, I uncovered the Vette after being under wrap for the previous month with no charger or tender. Cranked right up. The only time that I had a battery problem was when I failed to unplug the radar detector and did not drive for 5 or 6 days.
Now I suppose murphy will kick me in the tail and the Vette will not start next time I uncover it for a drive
