Storing your new camaro for winter
So just curious for those of us who are going to store their new camaro's for winter. What do you plan on doing or does anyone have any tips for me? I have never stored a car for winter before but since i have my blazer paid for and its 4x4 no way would i put a buffalo winter on my camaro. Any good storage ideas out there?

a heated garage would be nice, buut not always practical. i store mine in a semi-heated building. it is on the second floor and by semi heated i mean the first floor is heated,so some heat makes it's way up stairs. also it is on a wooden floor which helps with moisture control. i live in erie, so i know what kind of weather you get in buffalo, we had 148" this year.
 i did not disconnect the battery this year, but some people do or keep it on a trickle charge. i had no problems. fill up the tank and treat the gas with stabile gas treatment. also, give it a good wax for the long winter hibernation! good luck. when you get your car in bring it to erie, would love to see it, unless i get mine first!!!!

Considering following some guys I know who have early 60's Caddie show cars. They store theirs in a limestone mine that is secure, climate and humidity controlled for $60 a month. Hard to imagine just leaving my car somewhere that I can't readily see it though.
