My battery was a little run down, but not enough that the car still couldn't turn over.

LOL...they should add exhaust warnings to the list right outside the entrance to the wash.... "lower power antenna, put car in neutral, check clearance of exhaust system...."

Usually I throw a charger on it for a few hours about once a month during storage, but it got so cold so fast this year that I haven't had the motivation to do that. Even in my garage it's been cold as hell lately.

Hell yes! After that string of morning temps in the -4 to +5 range, a mid-40 degree day is like a heat wave.

Just a couple more months to go and things are gonna start looking much better. The days are going to start getting longer now, though it'll take a while before it's noticeable.

I try to start my car every 3-4 days just to keep a bit of oil and fuel running through it. I wanted to pull it out tomorrow and give her a nice bath and wax but I just checked the weather and rain for the next 2 days , I guess I should have done it while the weather was nice.

That is EXACTLY why my car stays put up in the winter. One only needs to spend 5 minutes watching morons try to negotiate the roads to understand.

I drive mine, only because we dont get much snow in Kentuky, and I am not home but once or twice a year fro a couple of weeks at a time. So I try to enjoy her as much as I can.
But if there is ice, I drive the Wife's Grand Prix GT1......

My SS is in the garage under a cover. I'm waiting for the inspiration to strike me to throw the cam and intake on it. Until then i'm driving a '97 Ford Escort wagon.

I'm glad your enjoying your t-tops. You might as well enjoy them all you can before it gets cold or snows again.
