1st I'd like to thank all the great folks on these forums for all the great responses I've gotten to questions over the past 3-4 years. What an asset Pelican Forums is to us semi-skilled Porsche guys. Now to the point of my post.
I live in Northwest Arkansas where the winter temps can get quite cold ( teens fairly often). Getting married soon has caused what I am sure is a common problem for many of us: 3 car family with a two car garage. I had a carport installed this past weekend, and would like to keep my '06 Carrera S Cab in it throughout the winter since I don't drive it in winter conditions. Here's a list of questions I would really appreciate hearing learned opinions on:
1. weather proof vs. dust cover car covers ( the carport covers the car really good)
2. affects of cold outside climate on the car
3. how often should the car be exercised during the winter months, and for how long
4. idling vs. short drives
5. pre "storage" maintenance tips
6. anything else someone may have to offer other than let your wife park her car in the carport
Again, thanks in advance for sharing!!! Woody in Fayetteville, AR
