Great weather due here in Ohio tomorrow also. Never put a car into winter storeage before Nov. 1st until this year. Had to go get it out for the week-end. Us Michigan and Ohio guys don't have much time left of '08 top down driving!
Hope your new battery solves the problem! Have heard it said about Allantes that these beasts either have a battery drain or WILL. Sure isn't the better alternative to finding the drain but I've had a priority start (
