OK. How do you feel about winter? I don't own an ice scraper certainly not a snow shovel. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to find either for sale. Guess that is what amazon is for? We might have 8-10 nights below 32 F. But just below. Our average day in January mid 60 and sunny. Super Bowl Sunday likely low 70s. Dallas Cowboys vs. KC Chiefs eh? So there is that.
Mumbles muttering dirty rotten mumble.

Since mine will sit in the driveway, I'm considering having a carport built.. well at least a roof, no sides, It will sit outside. No storage, I'll drive it this winter. That's what "Weather Mode" is for! A roof might be nice to reduce the amount of maple tree twirlys. and fir needles from landing on the car. ..

looking for marquette inspection
For the last 20years I have had Corvettes in Marquette MI on the south shore of Lake Superior. I gets cold here. I store my Vettes in my unheated garage. I over inflate the tires by 10 lbs. and put a trickle charger on the connected battery. That's it. Never had a problem.

just remember once you put it away , don’t start the car until you’re ready to get it out of storage . unless you can take it out and run it twenty minutes to thirty minutes to heat off any condensation in the oil . But do not start it occaisionally ,and idle it for five minutes, let it sleep.
