    First Fire of Spring!

    I tucked my '96 GTS away the first week in November last fall. Here was my storage checklist:

    - put a couple of Silica gel packs in the interior
    - stuffed rags in the exhaust (to prevent a critter from crawling in)
    - pumped the tires up to 50 psi
    - parked her on some carpet squares which I'd stapled to 1/2in MDF
    - chocked the wheels (and left it in neutral with the ebrake off)
    - put some paper towels between the wipers and the windshield
    - added Stabil to to the gas
    - hooked up to Battery Tender Plus

    She stayed in the garage all winter where I keep it heated to 41 degrees (arbitrary number that seems warm enough). I probably opened the driver side door once or twice but that's it.

    This morning, after more than 4 months in hibernation, she fired up without a moments hesitation, ready to go! Drove about 60 miles and dropped her off to have some pre-spring work done. Was very excited that everything felt good. Tires weren't flat spotted and it had no trouble rolling - brakes hadn't stuck at all or anything.

    Here comes the season!

    Awesome. Sounds like you covered your bases well. Its always nice to get them out after a long winters nap.

    Read the subject title and thought the P/S cap fell off. Good to hear that she fired right up!
