I over inflate the tires a touch and I do drive it still weather permitting once every two weeks. Just get it up to temp and get everything working and hot. Don't touch the paint, you do more damage, just leave it and have a good detailer give it a proper wash when it's ready to come out in the spring.

Ditto for my C2S. Drive it to and from work (around 10 miles each way) weather permitting. I have a battery tender but haven't needed it unless my plans include a vacation. Better to keep that car rolling according to the dealer...less leaks and problems.

Thanks for all of the tips guys... My car will go into hibernation in a week or so. My extra garage is not heated however will not be used for anything else (opened/closed, other cars tracking snow etc in) as in the OP. Do you do anything in the interior of the car? A lot of times when the boat goes into indoor heated storage for the winter we would put large containers of "damp rid" etc throughout the cabin. Is this necessary with the cars?

Again.. appreciate the help/feedback.

I use it. My car is stored in a heated garage as well. The way I look at it can't hurt and it's a cheap fix.

Does anyone have the Porsche Factory car cover? I'm wondering how tight they fit on? Not a fan of covers, and don't like the idea of stretching a cover over the car. On the other hand, I would like my car covered. I just wouldn't want the cover to be hard to get on/off.

Thanks!
