I know that this subject has been discussed before, so apologize if you've seen this too much.
I generally overwinter my Cayman by trying to get it out on the road once every week to week and a half as the weather and roads allow. Want to keep all the fluids circulating and not get flat spots in the tires. With all of the recent snow, PAs abundant use of salt, and a crazy work schedule, it's been about two and a half weeks now since the Cayman has moved. I've heard that it's worse to start and idle the car then to just let it sit.
My question is, should I idle it for a little while this weekend and move it in in the garage (to get the weight of the car on a different spot on the tires)? Or should I leave it be for another couple of weeks and wait for a better day? I have a battery tender on it, so hopefully no worries there.
Little chance of getting it out of the driveway this weekend as there is a solid block of ice there and it's on summer tires.
Thoughts?
