Default Putting my Z back on the road at the end of the month.

Putting my Z back on the road at the end of the month after a mild winter where it seems i didnt need to park it in the first place... However I have ordered some new tires (Toyo Proxes 4), If you guys have parked your Z for the winter are you doing anything for it when you take it out?

I've been driving mine all winter.. so as soon as it's warmer, I'm grabbing a Stillen Exhaust from a member on ChicagoZ, since he doesn't feel like working in the cold either, and getting a full detail. Oh, and also slapping my summer wheels/tires back on.

It's not a question of what to do after you take out of storage, it's what you did BEFORE you stored it. If you stored it properly, you should just be able to start it up and drive away, maybe put some air in the tires.

I think you guys were miss interpreting the question... it wasnt what should I do I was asking if there was anything extra YOU were doing... IE new tire for my car...
