...it stared right away, without any issues, drove the car a couple of miles, didn't notice anything strange (besides my heart was beating fast, I missed her so mauch), so far so good (knock on wood)...

planning to do oil change this weekend and hit the road

 

Did you start it right up or did you disconnect the ingition and turn it over some?

 

I put some oil in (may be 1/2 q.) and started right up.

 

I assume you disconnected your battery while it was in storage?
Just wandering if you didn't disconnect. Becuase some of us are having dead battery issues .

 

6 months! Holy cow! You live in Antarctica or something?

 

I thought something interesting happened.....cars are supposed to start up when you turn the key

 

I'm storing mine until April 13th. I put her away Nov 14... So 5 months.

 

Took mine out for first time yesterday. Had a float charger on it all winter. Started up fine and ran great. Bit of a burnt smell when I parked it. Got to remember to deflate the tires back to normal pressure.

 

I didn't disconnect the battery, you don't have to if you use battery tender, I am not sure how other chargers work

 

agree, but never had a car stored of 6 months so wasn't sure what to expect...

 

I used a battery tender (automatic) last year and it fired right up, no disconnection needed. I expect the same thing to happen when I take my car out of storage again in two weeks.

CANNOT wait!
