My version of this thread...
"Move to Texas." I feel so bad for those that have to store their cars :(

my gas tank is 3/4 full, can i just add a stabilizer and be ok? I mean the tanks are "plastic" and not metal...
i park it in my garage which has a one piece concrete slab with no cracks... do i still need a tarp under it as a mositure barrier?

If your garage is heated, you don't need a moisture barrier. However, you should still put a moisture barrier underneath your tires because concrete will draw moisture out of the rubber and shorten tire life and speed up dry-rot. |

Anyone with Pics how the battery tender is hooked up from the engine compartment, vs. the trunk?

I currently have mine under hood, on the positive terminal and for the ground, the factory ground point (by the air box). The tender light is showing green, so all so far is good. |

this has been a lot of help. i never stored a vehicle before and this helps. i would never think to put the waterproof tarp and/or cardboard underneath the tires.
