My wife and I finally winterized her '01 Mustang and my '04 Monte on Sunday (I hate doing the final car wash for the year in this cold, but it happens). Neither will be seen until next spring (and I have plans for the Monte come spring.... MuHAHAHA!)...
Removed the car cover.
Started the '06 LTZ.
Hit the "OnStar button.
OnStar said there was a problem in their last email to me.
Seems...................... the OnStar backup battery has gone bad............... A 3RD TIME!!!

Yesterday I picked her up from the shop, got the driver's side front wheel hub replaced (traction system problem) and transmission needed the Pressure Control Solenoid replaced, and the Valve Body and Oil Pump reconditioned.
Today, installed DDM Tuning 5,000K HIDs with the optional harness.
Found out some more parts I ordered to reinstall the Secondary Air Injection System (CA Emissions) that were left off the car after an engine swap to a Federal Emissions engine shipped. After these pieces arrive (scheduled for next Thursday, per UPS) only have 3 more pieces to go, ordered but not shipped yet.
