I've been thinking of parking mine away and pick up a classic vespa(don't judge me) to school and back. So much easier with something like that.

Old cheap cars are the best. I love it when people judge me when im driving my oldsmobile when they have a "clean newer car" that mommy and daddy bought them. and ive bought my monte, motorcycle, truck, and oldsmobile. haha im proud of my vehicles and treat them with care (except my oldsmobile :P) like everyone should

So many people claim you should store a car with a battery tender. I have stored cars for years, unhooked both the positive and negative connections and let it sit from October until winter it done. No issues what so ever. The only difference between my charged battery disconnected and the charged battery on the parts store shelf, their battery is inside with climate control.

Mine gets beat up in the harsh Canadian weather and salt . When I get home I'm looking into getting a 90 day car pass from Petro. It's $200 and 1 car wash a day for 90 days. My friend who works there has a GT-r and has people with Vets using that pass... cars looking like new they day they came off the line. It works out to about $2 a car wash in the long run and it's touchless car was as well.

My dad takes all his batteries out too. but I'm weird and I like to start my car and sit in it. LOL so I just leave it hooked up with a tender so it doesn't draw and it gets pretty cold here some nights and I'm a worry wart about my battery dying.
