Sorry old post! Already answered the carpet question thing....oh well...again...
I don't have a basement(tri-level), it's my storage, workshop. When I get new carpet for a room in the house, the old goes on the garage floor. Nice to walk on when I need a tool or something in the house. Also nice to sit on it when detailing/ working on the XF.
Also, I don't take the battery out. I usually start it every other week or more.
