winter storage... what are you doing?
 

oil change....fill tank to the top .....clean it hardcore....wrap off exhaust. waht else? Found a garage to put it in....
Is it worth it to pull battery and charge it a few times during winter?
I still hate this clearcoat/ paint.....worst paint durabality in any vehicle I have every owned. My bodyshops paint and clearcoats rocks 10x over this scrap.
What are you doing?
Oh by the way I have Blizzacks winter winters for sale that I bought when I got the car for sale....3000 km...great tires...In Manitoba

You pretty much nailed it. I would either pull the battery or put a tender on it yes. Although I have had batteries sit in cars unused for months and even years and still work fine there is something about these that seem to drain them fast.

The only other thing you may want to consider is if there is a risk of rodents getting in the engine bay or car. Some bait around will help with that.

are you going to set it and forget it???


when i parked my car, i just changed the oil, and just started it once or twice a week for 10-15 minutes....

Mentally prepare myself for worse fuel economy.

oh ya..mothballs around tires... forgot.....:party0030:

Ever seen a mouse carry a mothball away and dump it? I have. They don't do squat for rodents. Maybe did once upon a time but they changed something and have become just a minor annoyance to them.

yuppers.. set it and forget it.......well I wont forget it...I miss it already..Im driving the snot out of it right now. I drive it hard. I really love this car with its few hiccups. Great driving car. Putting it in garage and will try to wait to end of April..........miss it already.......any one need great winter tires!!

Put the tires up in the Canada classifieds but make sure you follow the rules. I bet you sell them really quick at this time of year.

ru serios? really? what do you recommend for keeping the buggers at bay?
By the time I put this away in northern manitoba its so cold everything goes to sleep. Any advice appreciated

I would just put bait out. I am sure that there are other ways but I am hardcore and just want to kill the buggers before they can cause issues.

you mean put bait traps out? Like what? Like actual traps? "can you get them at canadian tire?
thanks bud :bow:

Canadian Tire works. I personally would use the bait with warfarin in it. It makes them thirsty so they go looking for water before they die. Also dries them out so they don't stink.

I'm driving. Texas has no winter. :D

I am driving as well and we invented winter!
