Nice thanks Rick, I hooked it up today. you think there is any risk of fire keeping the tender under the hood with the hood closed?

Trickle charger or remove the battery and store it indoors for the winter?

I have a trickle charger... so much easier than removing the battery

mine went away today, finally. I haven't driven it in about a month anyway due to the cold and grit on the road. Last week it was a done deal for me though, salt was put on the roads >:(

I washed it today in the cold and put it back in the garage. I will disconnect the battery this week and get some stainless steel wool for the exhaust. I didn't wash the wheels/tires to prevent my brakes from rusting to the rotors (it's bad enough when I wash it then wait to drive it the next week).

I also bought an eight foot sheet of the closed cell pink foam insulation. I cut it into 24" sections and drove onto them to keep my tires off of the concrete / tarp floor. Next Im going to tarp the door behind my car to keep any snow dust / salt spray from coming in. I have a car going in and out in the bay beside mine, so I tarped off the bay that my car is in. pics to follow!

the car is crooked, not the wall. I wanted more room between the car and the bay beside me (on the other side of the green tarp). I will board the rest of the bottom edge of the tarp wall now that the car is in there.
