I make a point of doing this during storage time and haven't had a problem with flat spots. I also plan to drive the car periodically during winter storage season when the weather and roads permit. Best to drive to operating temperature for at least 15'. Car's going under the cover in 1-2 weeks. Still pretty warm here in SE PA.
Everyone here (except for two Newbies) knows you are not going to drive her in Winter. Hell, you don't even drive it in Summer!

Phil, I really have to hand it to you. Either you have the “courage of a burglar” to keep posting stuff like this or your are a “glutton for punishment!”

Phil, I asked you the same question about a year ago when you discovered your sulfated battery. Check out the second sentence.

Oh this is harsh - coming late to this party there's little I can say to Phil that he couldn't already predict.
I've a feeling that Phil's car will get the same number of winter miles that his car got during the summer.... hmmmm..... 10!

By my calculations you are 3,400 miles short of achieving the minimum. While you may not get banned, your membership may become sulfated due to an improper ratio, which would void your Rennlist Warranty.

was referring to the little green circle light coming on,
telling you to "store" your car.

Phil, you have driven 2,000 miles in your C4S and have 1,800 Rennlist posts, which is a ratio of 1 mile for every .9 posts. The normal ratio of miles versus posts is 5 to 1. In order to maintain the proper mixture of windhshield time and monitor time, Rennlist recomments a minimum ratio of 3 to 1.
By my calculations you are 3,400 miles short of achieving the minimum. While you may not get banned, your membership may become sulfated due to an improper ratio, which would void your Rennlist Warranty.

Oh God - here come those green circles again .....
