Yeah, good points Aaron.Frankly, I don"t have any experience with very drastic winters where you can"t actually drive the car. Still, I can"t see leaving the car for more than, say, two months without starting it.Do you think that is the "magic number?"There has got to be a point where the benefit of starting outweights the benefit of not, when you look at everything involved. Course, living in Los Angeles as I did changes the rules a bit. Even "dead of winter" starts typically ended up in a really nice drive.;^D Cheers All, Fred
