As for winter storage I only put some additive to fuel. Myself, I don't like the idea on letting the car sit off the wheels for any period of time.
I did buy a outdoor rug with rubber on back to keep moisture from getting to bottom of car. This has worked great for me. I used to find the whole bottom of the car dripping wet during the cold months. Large enough so whole car is on top of it. Hook up battery maintainer and cover the car and only start it when it can be ran up to running temp so all moisture is removed from motor and exhaust. I normally start it four times during winter and take it for a run.

Hey Tom,

That would drive me crazy! That much moisture in the air makes everything RUST!

Get yourself a portable dehumidifier for your garage. I set mine on 40% and let it run year round. Keeps everything dry. No moisture or surface rust on anything.

The car is now in a warm garage instead of no heat but the rug still should help mine and others fighting this issue. Never had a rust problem yet........

thanks,
tom
