I drop mine while driving it to work. I love our 60 degree winters!

Stored mine for 3 previous years. Unlock the top, losen windows, hood trunck, disconnect battery. Also place moth ***** in trunck, under hood and inside to preven mice from making ahome as well as steel wool in the tailpipes. Baking soda inside eliminates the musty smell and cover it with a good quality breathable cover. Kiss her good night and tuck her in until spring. I live in Ontario Canada where it gets cold and snowy.
