Fall Time Change

Remember folks daylight saving Time ends at 2 AM on Nov 2nd. So tomorrow you can roll your clocks back one hour.

We can sleep in an extra hour Sunday morning.

A little extreme.
I use my car 12 months out of the year

There is a drastic difference from your location to his, especially in temperatures.

Not a moment too soon, that extra hour of daylight was starting to cause a drought out here.

Yes it is a shipping container. As posted by another poster its isn't extreme because I only have street tires. Any hint of snow or ice and my G becomes useless. Also It has never been winter driven road salt in my opinion leads to costly premature repairs. I will drop by every two weeks to start it up. The containers are dry and clean and do not leak.

If you are going to start it you should take it for a run. If you just start it and shut it down, it will do more harm than good. You are better just to leave it, unless you take it for a run.
Check with RBull, he has been storing his coupe for years.

You're not doing the car any good starting it and idling. I would consider leaving it alone until you bring it out in the spring.

I would be interested in seeing if the container stays free of condensation with temperature changes.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will take it for the odd boot weather permitting.

That's a better plan. A couple of decent runs over a 5 or six month period will be perfect for keeping the battery charged and everything cleaned out. Pick a warmer sunny day preferably after a day or two of rain so road salt has been washed away. This is the method I now use with my cars the last 5-6 years.
