Just had a couple feet of snow drop in the last week, and I've not had more fun in a RWD car. Needless to say, I'm daily driving Bianca all Canadian winter long.

Mid October for me always. Have to living in the rust belt. This year I'm not killing battery though. It's in the dining room by the door that leads to the garage and has a battery maintainer on it. I got lucky and Interstate warrantied out my battery this year. It developed a weak cell after staying in the car all winter long. I also got a BMW cover for it too. I feel a lot better this winter.

Throw the tender on between mid-Nov and Feb but still take her out every few weeks weather permitting.

I just put a tender on mine while under the car cover in the garage myself...

never had any issues. Mine goes into hiding at the first snow or first brine/sand/salt of the year.

I was just playin' around for a chuckle! I figure that a laugh here and there will ease the passage of those long winter days as we wait for spring.

Cheers!!
