I feel your pain. I am struggling with doing the same thing right now. Today is sunny and almost 70 good for one more top down ride but it is all waxed and clean for a long winter nap. What to do what to do. That is a great cover by the way.

Yeah, it was 60 degrees here yesterday, so I washed it one more time and hung the Christmas lights on the house. So did you pull your battery? Any other prep, or just parked it? Tires can get flat spots after sitting, but my tires are shot anyway, so I'm not worried about that. I do want to get a cover though; the garage gets really dusty.

Even though it's put away for the winter, I will start it up and let it sit a bit once a week , then drive it around couple of times within my buildings underground garage, then just put the cover back on. My building garage is large enough to do this. That should take of the battery and getting any flat spots on my tires. The best thing is that my garage is heated, so in the dead of winter, it's a constant 60 degrees.
