Thinking about winter already?

I wont be driving my BRZ in the winter either. I have a Silverado for winter duty. Even on nice days there's still plenty of salt on the road.

I store my 240Z in the winter in my garage. It gets put away from mid-November to mid-April until there are enough large rain storms to remove the salt from the road. I have a cover that I used for a few winters but truth be told the car seemed to be as dusty, if not worse, with the cover. Now I just leave sit in the garage uncovered. It gives me something to look at.

For storage I do an oil change, wax/detail and make sure all of the other fluids are topped off. I also remove the battery. I use to fill the fuel tank to the top but that always left me with a full tank of bad gas in the spring (even with using Stabil). Since the garage is insulated and dry, I store the car with a minimum amount of fuel (still using Stabil) and then drain it and put it in the tractor...that thing will burn motor oil as fuel. While I can't as easily drain the BRZ tank, it will get stored damn-near empty.
