Hi Guys -
Right now my Cobra is a daily driver, and even that is a stretch as I've only put 13K on the odometer in 3.5 years.
I'm getting weary of driving in it the elements in Seattle all the time, and only for a few miles each day. It's not the greatest thing for the engine or the Mystichrome paint. I really want to preserve the car in pristine condition for decades. I'm thinking of putting it in the garage of a vacation home in Vegas and only driving it when I'm there. That would be maybe one or two days a month.
Anything to consider when driving a car this infrequently? Things I can think of are
- Gas going bad and needing fuel stabilizer
- Battery going dead and needing to be on a tender
Anything else? Is this plan a good or a bad idea to keep the car looking and running well for years?
