    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. 🙂

        Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
        Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
        Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
        Torque is how far you take the wall with you

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

                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.

                      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.
