i wish i could store it :( I've got a lovely heated shop that I could tear it apart and enjoy countless hours of tooth brush cleaning of the motor.. but i hate buying a car and not driving it.. seems to counter productive to me.. pay insurance.. pay gas.. pay maintance fees.. but let it chill

I'm in MI, i keep storing it in my neighbors garage and then taking out https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR , once the snow starts sticking i'll store it for the winter :( .

i have a 2nd gen Acura Legend that i'll be driving for the winter, and daily during the spring/summer if it doesnt fall apart.

That's what winters are for!! I detailed the undercarriage last winter. Removed 55,000 miles worth of dirt https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...



Just drop the insurance to comprehensive only. I pay less the $60/month for comp. Keeps the car safe, gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside..

I'm driving my FD as much as I can, of course only on good weather days... like today - it's beautiful out, sunny, dry, and in the 40s, why keep your 7 cooped up on a day like this?



Besides, I get some serious withdrawl if I go too long without driving it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif :redface: :rant: :puke: https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif :squint:

I drive it ever once in a while between tuning it....... Seems like I am always adding new parts, and then I have to test them out https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png . I have a beater car (88 CRX) that gets driven on my daily trips, IE school and work. Plus the beater gets bout 35 mpg, lol and that is a hell of a lot better than the FD, but DAMN is that thing slow.

Yeah... It's hard to find a car that feels fast when you drive a FD!
