3 - Power steering effort is also higher than usual.

4 - Starter motor makes strange noise when turning the motor over.

The car hasn't been driven much since last November. Last time it ran was during the Ohio Scion Auto Show event. According to my mechanic friend Kenny, who was taking care of it during winter, it's due to weather conditions and lack of use. What do you guys think?

Uh oh. I am going to pick up my Eclipse next weekend and it hasn't been touched since October

Last winter I stored it, I only drove it like 3 or 4 times. When I went to pick it up, everything worked perfect (other than the battery which I was stupid not to take out).

The only thing I an worried about is my tires...

That'd be you. You made a run from W.32 over to 25th then into Lakewood. I was in hot pursuit in my beater trying to keep up with your whip which you were driving normally most of the time.

I'm in for Thursday if I'm allowed to come and play.

Sounds like just a lack of use man. Our S2000 in our showroom was like that. We didnt bother to start it ever since Auguest of last year and 3 weeks ago was the first time we started it and moved it out. As for the brakes they do that a lot. Have you ever looked at cars at a dealer? You can tell which ones have been moved around and ones that have sat for like weeks cause the brakes look like ****.

Thurs is much better than Weds for me...

Dr. Fob, maybe drive it around for a week and see if the symptoms are still present.

OK ladies, let's just pick a day and stick with it. Obviously everyone has their own schedule and some days are more convenient for some and some for others.

Of course I mean all of that in the best possible way. But really, let's just pick a day.
