• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Use of the parking brake during storage?

Newbie question, I have a question on the use of the parking brake during winter storage. Does everyone leave it on during storage? My 2021 F3 Spyder will be in a unheated shed for months during storage. There is no worry of it rolling. My concern would be the constant pressure on the brakes for months. Thoughts?

Matter of choice, I have done it both ways over a couple winters, I prefer to leave the brake OFF now because it's not necessary to turn the key on to move it a few feet. 50/50
 
I leave mine off. Relieves tension on cable and caliper so it won't stretch out. Block a wheel if need to.
