How many of you have stored the Z already for the winter
#41
It just started to snow now, I'm in Fairfax Virginia and this is my first year with snow. I really didn't want to drive it in snow because I ran into a guy who has a 05' enthusist that said he took it out one day with snow and did a 360 in the middle of a major highway. But I'm about 30 minutes away from my house at my sisters house and I'm pretty much stuck unless I leave pretty soon.

Mine's in storage to - stored it back in my home state. I forgot what torque was until I've been having to drive around my rav4 a lot now ugh. Nov-March/May just depends on how long the winter season here will last till. Last year it was kinda long.

A friend just brought up a subject that I really can't answer. She told me that someone told her to roll down the window a little bit so there can be air circulation when storing your car.
She is storing her car all winter and summer since she is moving to another city for work. Do I have to worry about air circulation when I am just winter storing the Z?
PS: When disconnecting the battery, you just have to disconnect the negative connection to break the loop, right? No need to disconnect both positive and negative, right?
Thanks.

Welp, I found out the hard why you might want to roll your window down just a notch.
I disconnected my battery, and then had to go back in the car again to put some arm&hammer and closed the door. Well, I forgot about that little feature where the window would go down a bit when closing the door. Well it didn't go down since there was no electricity. Thankfully I didn't slam the door but just let it go. So there was no damage to the window or the paint.
Anyhoo, I'm going to take a deep breath now.

My Z is sleeping as well. I drive it until the snow starts flying and the salt hits the ground. Then it's off the road until spring, which in Cleveland could be mid April. The plus side is it's an '04 with only 6K.
