Yes of course I let it fully warm up. I never completely put the car away for the winter. I never leave the car alone long enough to worry about storage. But if I did, I would change the fluids, start it on occasion and let it completely warm up and move it a little to prevent flat spots, dry rot, get some lube up on the gears, etc, and add some fuel stabilizer. Then put the car cover back on it. Nothing else is required. But, there sure is a lot you can do!
I am reading this thread correctly. Are all of you seriously saying that you put you car to bed and don't touch it until next spring? What will power! If I don't drive it for a while I start to get the shakes and cold chills! I supliment the lack of driving time due to bad weather with projects on the car. Cold, no problem..... put the top on, dress warm, crank up the heater.
Mice, get a cat, don't feed it, no mice problem!!
Storage, what a concept
