Default Plans for RCF over Christmas?

Just thought a thread to share what is happening with your RCF over Christmas, would be a good thread. Mine is sleeping and very dusty sitting in the garage. I have not started it up since early November so I started the car up (reconnected the battery) and rolled the car across the garage to adjust tire pressures a bit. Let it idle till it was warmed up. I am sure lots in warm climate, are enjoying their RCF over Christmas so be sure to share.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

I gifted myself some new technology for the interior. Will post a thread in a few weeks - I want to put it through its paces first.
Happy Holidays to all!

Cold and foggy Christmas in N. CA. I waterless washed mine (for the first time since buying in Sept 21) on Christmas Eve. Took like 15 minutes. Will likely stay as garage king until spring unless we get some nicer weather but is supposed to rain all week.

Stowed for the winter.

might take it out if the roads are clear and the salt has been washed away but other wise staying dormant until spring.

Cool. So, now that means I can turn it around on you as to how I talk about Octane 94 being available everywhere here?

Cool. Same here. It is warm here enough to drive, but the roads are cr*p with salt and rock chips so I need to wait till the roads are clean

Same here. It is around 1 - 3 C, which is decent enough to drive, but the major issue is the rock chips and salt.

Lucky you. Definitely, should be fun for a holiday season drive.

Stored in my garage after a clay bar, polish and wax. Warming up outside tomorrow so I will take it out for some playtime.
