Question for people that store there cars

[inspector01]

I don't put a cover on it, and wouldn't unless it is high quality with good air flow, moisture can get trapped between the fabric and paint and other problems. I have never covered my cars, but i always use a clean garage. Yes stabil the red stuff, and fill the tank or moisture will be in the air inside it and rust your tank.

i do what CMK said minus covering. I also run some seafoam through it before i store it to get some moisture out of the lines and such.

dont forget to change your coolant if you use plain water....

in the past i've stored the car in a friends barn. stabil, disconnect battery, apply car cover are all things I do. In addition, i stuff dryer sheets all over the car (interior and underhood) as apparently Mice hate the smell and won't go near a car. Otherwise Mice and other critters will figure your car is a pretty good place to setup shop for the winter. Debugging a wiring harness fault due to rodent activity is awful.

is this what you do to your ride ruthless, i noticed you have yours covered, and stabil is the stuff in the red container right? i have some that i use in the snowblower and mower.Do you fill the tank completely full also?

Yep! I fill the tank full and add the stabil stuff. You fill it full to keep the condensation down. I also change the tires for my shitty tires. I have the time to do this so it keeps the weather from cracking my summer tires. Thats just me though.

How are aftermarket wheels different than stock wheels as far as the car simply sitting on them?

[eveslow]

i plan on storing my car this winter and i was wondering if heated storage is worth it or if i should just store it in the cold?

[no_slow_clap]

park it on jack stands and have any sort of rodent repelant in/around the car.

Flat spotting the tires? I don't know, just something I read.

Convert back to pump gas like i already told you. Easy enough.

That used to be a problem with bias ply tires, but with radials any flat spot that might occur will be gone by the time you are around the block. Remember, parking a car for winter is only 5 or 6 months, not years.

You should have thought of that earlier. Just put in a stock ECU and stock injectors with stock map sensor.
