So I just added 40PSI to all of the tires to help avoid flat spotting. We'll see if that works or not since this is my first season storing. I don't plan to start the car at all, so there it sits until Spring.

Also put some damp rid in the interior and left it in N, no e-brake with tires chocked.

Steel wool? What purpose does that serve in the tail pipes?

I would consider packing my ride away too if I was in the east coast areas, but in Vancouver we don't see much... maybe a week and can leave it parked for that... and for the time all the salt to be gone from the roads.

Ok but looks as the car cover would do that.

Well... I just got done putting on my set of rims and snow tires on this weekend. I'm Running it all year!!

My-LS3 · 10-26-2010, 04:16 PM

They will eat through the car cover. They won't eat steel wool.

Yea, this will probably be the last weekend I drive mine too. I still have to get a Battery Tender.... Temps have not been below 35 yet, but it's coming. Man, I am going to miss driving her.
