Snow is in the forecast at the end of the week which means the zhp will not be driven for the next 5 months or so
I have to decide whether to leave it in the car port at no additional cost knowing it might get hit with a bit of snow or leave it in a storage unit for about $165/month like I did last year...

I'd leave it in the car port and save the money for your next mod or what ever.... snow has no salt... it's just frozen rain

Yup, pretty much what I’m thinking. I thought about using a car cover too but I don’t think my apt folks allow it and also heard a few stories about paint getting damaged while removing the car cover after having it on for a long time.Originally Posted by Sockethead

I thought of taking the zhp to a track day this year but didn’t happen for myriad of reasons. I can use the money saved towards that next year...

I agree with Rob’s suggestion. What do you do about the battery for long term parking like that?

Last year I removed the battery from the car and keep it on a trickle charger at home. Will do the same again this year...
Edit: will also swap the arc8’s for the 135’s with worn out tires...

We stored the 135 outside during the winters in NJ. We used a BMW car cover and we had no issues come spring... we did that for years until we moved down here...

I thought I’d get this done 2 weekends ago but didn’t happen. But this past Friday, I swapped the arc8/pss for worn out 135/dws06 and disconnected the battery. I’ll put a trickle charger on the battery at home since the car would be in the car port and not in a garage.
Spencer graciously sent me the car cover he had which I haven’t put on at the same time because there was moisture on the car and I didn’t want it to freeze with the car cover and possibly rip the paint off, so I’ll probably get to it sometime this week. Car has about 175k miles now.
