Sadly for many of us it is coming to that time of the year. The snow is coming and that crap they put on the road that ruins everything. I was wondering what yall do to to prepare your car for winter storage. Currently mine goes into a nice climate controlled room in a old limestone mine. Had the oil changed and will wash and detail it before it gets parked and placed under the cover and will add fuel stabilizer. What else should I do to get her comfy?
Thanks yall

I bought mine new in 2011 and have never done a thing to it. I park it in my garage, cover it, make sure there is plenty of air in the tires and that's a wrap. I take it back out in ~April.

Yes, time to put on the winter tires and keep driving it.

I've heard conflicting information on this subject. Some people will stay they start their cars up once in a while... like twice a month, while others do absolutely nothing.

I'm looking to fill my tank and disconnect that battery which I bring downstairs to trinkle charge one a month for 2 days.

I am looking to get a cover.
