So I broke my elbow and my car has been sitting in the garage hooked up to a charger for the past 2 months. Is there anything I need to worry about with the car sitting? I may be able to drive it after another few weeks of physical therapy.

Thanks!

 

Check out pauliewalnut's battery explosion thread. VENT THE BATTERY BEFORE YOU START IT UP!

 

Yikes! Just read through it. I will make sure to vent the battery.

Thanks a lot!

 

If possible, I'd have someone try to drive it just a few miles if you can. At least so you don't get flat spots in your tire.

 

I was thinking of having someone take it out for a bit.

Thanks!

 

That sucks, I feel your pain. 4 years ago I completely tore my right bicep from the bone one month after I purchased a new BMW M3 with a 6 speed. Couldn't shift it for 3 months, killed me looking at in the garage it only had 400 miles on it. Good Luck with the elbow.

 

Thanks Geo. I'm getting there but I have zero strength in my bicep and tricep. They're still trying to straighten the arm to extension.

 

I have always been in to weight lifting and when my right arm came out of the brace 2 months later my bicep and tricep looked like a little girl's, but I was amazed at how fast the muscles bounced back when I started PT. Within 4-6 months my arm looked like its brother left arm. It is amazing how much memory the muscles have. Be diligent with your PT and all will be good again.

 

Thanks Geo, good to know that recovery will be be somewhat speedy.

 

sucks man...how'd you break it?

 

aww so unfortunate, if you dont feel comfortable letting your friends drive the car get another turbo owner from 6speed to take it around the block for you.
