I thought I would start a thread dedicated to everyone bringing their cars back out of hibernation.

Mine came out yesterday and is at home now. DOMO

I'll probably be bringing it back to storage tomorrow for another week until the following weekend.

I unexpectedly got blocked in storage this year with my car so was unable to get it out during the winter. My battery wasn't disconnected and for the first year it was stone dead when I went for pick up. The alternator wasn't capable of charging it driving and it wasn't taking an AC charge well, so after nearly 5 years I went out and bought a replacement. The old one held a charge overnight but just doesn't seem as strong and I don't like surprises. Today she got that new juice box, her oil/filter changed and clutch fluid flushed.

 

Hi Deane, Mines coming out Saturday or Sunday. Followed by a tint on Tuesday and a oil change and rad flush on Wed. I'm excited!

 

^Way to go!

Is that your first rad flush? I'm planning to get my first one too and also have the brake fluid flushed since it's been 2 years now.

 

Mine comes out on Sunday as soon as we get home from Newfoundland. Can't wait.

 

First flush since I bought it a year ago. I like your idea of the clutch fluid change as well. I'll see if I have some extra change kicking around..Cheers to being back on the road.

 

Good stuff!

 

Cheers 2 That as well!

 

mine will come out in may sometime, i play it safe! but my rims came today!!

 

Always good to play it safe. I'll have mine out, but probably another month until I can give it a good detailing. Pics of the new rims please!

 

I was smart this year when I put it away. I changed every fluid in the car ( literally everything other than the washer fluid) and I spent 2 days polishing, sealing, waxing and detailing the living crap out of it before she went away.

Sunday will be like a little present that is reserved all for me.

 

Mine has been parked in my garage all winter with weekly startups to move it around a bit so it doesent get flat spots and to check the battery. Just did an oil change a few days ago and want to still change the diff and tranny fluid before I take it out in 2 weeks. Then it will be off to the carwash for a long cleaning to make it all spring fresh.

 

Yes siree i start mine up faithfully every week,i move mine around too.I just can't wait another 3 weeks till the streets r sweeped...Yippie im gonna have an O^gasm...lol

 

I just put my car back on insurance for tomorrow (first day of Spring!). Supposed to be "warm" on sunday so i'll probably take it out for a nice spirited drive then to get rid of any built up moisture.

I'm keeping my winter car on insurance for another month and i'll drive that on any of the colder days. Don't like driving my g35 with my summer tires unless its around 10 degrees Celsius or more.

 

Not sure what you mean by startup & move it around,
but there has been a lot of info & discussion on that topic.

It might be worth checking them out.

 

ever since the roads here in toronto dried up ive been driving (roughly a month?). I think the most rewarding experience about storing the car is bringing it out for the first time. The anticipation kills me.
