Gave her a bath, and tucked her in to bed ... wintersleep time








kthxbai!!

 

What material do you have under the tires? And has it proven to prevent flat-spotting?

 

I have parked cars for the winter for as long as I can remember, and as long as the tires are properly inflated, I have never experienced flat spotting..

 

I have heard this as well. 40-45lbs of air and just make sure it doesn't drop too much, no?

Wish my car could go away like that, as of now, sht is torn apart getting some minor body modifications

 

Ah very good. I kept mine parked at ~ 33-34 psi last winter (only drove it a few times for 4 months) and it definitely sounds like they flat-spotted a bit (i.e. "wub wub wub wub" sound at low speed).

Anyway, that's off-topic. Car looks good OP and sorry you have to put it away. What will you be driving this winter? (Or did you already post that in the "what will you be driving this winter" thread?)

 

MAN, apparently Germany knows how to do cars, and do them RIGHT during storage! OP, how long do "wintersleep times" last over there?

 

Pretty sure a lot of places have snow til March.

 

haha nice and what are those things under the tire???

 

US Army or Air Force? noticed you got Armed Force Europe rear plate and its USDM square style. Nice house btw!

 

I grew up in Iowa. Snow came as early as October and as late as Xmas. And left by January or all the way into April.

There is no standard.

 

haha thanks guys .. the things underneath my tires? just regular styrofoam ... I dont really know if it helps, but I heard it should take of the pressure a little on the tires...

anyways... yeah winter weather is a little late this year, usually it starts around November .. until March-April

 

like here in north italy

 

aw none of the above, but very close ( AD:xx with those licenseplates are US Army or Airforce and the little blue square box has "USA-Nato" written in it) .. my dad is german and my mom is american from CA, so we ended up staying in Germany... bought the Z 2005 in the US and shipped it over to Germany, that explains the rear square licenseplate...

friends and family all still over there , flying over to L.A 2-3 times a year

good ol' memories 2005

 

My friend just puts his car on jackstands to prevent flatspotting

 

What is that red piece between your mufflers?

 

rear fog light

 

I've heard that can be even worse because it unloads all of the flexible parts in your suspension, which can lead to premature failure of bushings, etc. Not sure if that's true but it seems to make sense.
