rumor has it, the optima batteries aren't what they used to be. that said, if you don't keep a maintainer on them, the Z will drain any battery if it sits long enough.

I have never had any problem with pulling any brand placing it indoors for the winter on some wood blocks???Assuming my redtop will be no different. They fire right up...key is to remember to keep doors unlocked, so you can still access cars sans keys if needed, and windows a tiny crack down...therefore no broken window seals when the windows shoot up when repowering (true story, previous owners mistake, for which I take no credit). worst case scenario, you trickle charge the biotch

I can't wait to pull the Z out for a decent drive. I want to be gone all day when that time comes.

I agree that bringing the battery inside is probably the best idea if you don't have a trickle charger. Even then, you might as well take it out if you're leaving the car to sit for that long.

I know how that goes with the work thing. We'll have to wait and see your sleeve at the Spring meet.

doesn't surprise me one bit. It seems like the dumb kids rub off on the others in the class and bring them down.... and the smart kids rub off positively on the other group.

Soo true. If other people are doing terrible it is justifiable which leads to a cyclone of failure.

WOW is nice today. T-shirt weather. Drove to the gym with the window down even. Feels like farm season is right around the corner...... I don't even feel recovered from last year yet. I need a new job.
