Where's what I do:
-Fill up gas tank to 99% full + Added Stabil to keep the gas fresh
-Unplugged the battery
-Set gear in neutral and do "NOT" engage the e-brake(You dont want your calipers/brake pads stuck)
-Put some 2x4 wood on the front and back of the tires to keep the car from rolling
-clean interior and vaccum(important....but I didnt do "DOH")
-Waxed the car and cleaned the car before putting it to sleep
-Buy a size 3 car cover to protect it
-Pressed the button that dont let air from the outside to flow inside to keep rodents from coming inside the car.... (What did I just say?)
Optional:
-Change transmission oil
-change engine oil/filter
-Take out important papers/electronics/junks in the trunk etc

Sorry, I didnt read that in the first place. Very important thing to keep in mind is that ANY car cover(regardless of quality) is not designed to keep a car stored outside for a long time especially through winter. Imagine all the dirty things that can get on your car cover and then sneak inside your paint! When it comes time for you to take it off, you have to be extra cautious since those dirt that has been blown by the wind may end up scratching your paint. Now may be a good time to get Opti-coat or a fresh wax if you havent done so already.
It's doable since I personally wont want jealous people to throw ice or snowballs at my precious car thats been sitting outside for months, but just be careful. Cheers
