Post Winter preparation - what should I do ?

Guys

It seems that summer is over, I plan to take care of the car over the winter, I will drive her but only when it's dry.
As this won't be as often as summer use what should I do in between drives ?
This could be gaps of 3-4 weeks !

Move to Phoenix. We're just getting ready for Porsche weather, the highs are just starting to top out at 100.

3-4 weeks? You should be fine with no special care. Just put a good coat of wax and a full tank of high test gas in there. Maybe move it once a week to keep the tires from developing flat spots, and when you DO drive it, make it at least a 30 minute drive with some spirited runs. As for the Targa Top, I keep mine on , but not locked down so the seals don't wear out un-necessarily.

A trickle charger on the battery would be a good idea if it sits in a cold garage.
