SS first start up in 5 months It was almost 60 degrees today in Rochester, NY so I decided to start it up since I put it away in October for the winter. I wanted to go for a cruise so bad but can't do that for another month to month and a half. A lot of salt on the roads. Anyway, here's the video just after it fired up. It's idling around 1,100rpm's. Oh, and sorry about the darkness. It was dark out.

I hope the snow isn't much. In Rochester so far they are saying a few snow showers. I hope it isn't enough to bring the salt trucks out. We'll see I guess. When I store it, I change the oil and oil filter and put fuel stabilizer in it. I also take the battery out of the car and leave it in my house. Of course I cover it up good including the garage floor.
