first drive after winter storage

finally sat behind the steering wheel of my s4 tii after months of salty sanded minnesota roads. it started perfectly with that nice mechanical rotary hum that just makes you wanna close your eyes and smile... mmmmm... how i've missed the sweet sensation or that 13b

anyways, just wondering if there're any suggestions to things i should attend to like oil changes and such after about 4 and a half months of winter storage. and also my e-brake light stays on even after it's released.

thx guys,
sodara

Chenge the Oil,
New Spark Plugs and Wires,
Use some Lucas or SeaFoam to clean out the fuel system,
Also I would flush the coolant if you haven't done so in a while and change the thermostat.
Check your belts/replace belts.

I know I'm missing a few things but here is a basic list :P

If you didn't store it properly, the damage has been done.
