I phoned Subaru again, they have a car cover coming in for me next Wednesday. I'll give you guys an update on how it is.

1. wash, dry, clay & wax car. clean interior as well
2. drive to gas station and fill up. also fill up 5L can of extra fuel
3. mix 5L can with Sta-bil and fill tank with it
4. let car run another 10 minutes
5. place down plastic cover in garage
6. park car over plastic cover in neutral with handbrake NOT engaged
7. place tire stops on all 4 tires
8. change oil and oil filter
9. put steel wool in exhaust tips to keep mice etc out
10. connect battery tender plus to battery
11. put oem subaru brz cover over car
12. lock doors and let it sit all winter until april without ever starting it

dehumidifier and heating runs all winter in the garage so it sits in pretty much ideal conditions all winter long. Had no issues storing it this way and neither has my dad with his cars.

laughed out loud at that ahaha takes me a whole day to store about 3-4 cars so its pretty intense. some are stored longer like 8-10 months hence more preparation.

I'll never understand the point of storing such a cheap, plentiful car. Ah well.

You're doing something right if you have 4 cars to store every winter :D

I store mine in the laneway. I make sure too move it between 30 and 100 miles twice a day to charge the battery, clear the snow and make sure the tires stay round.
