And at my house it is an issue. There are birds that winter around my parts and the crazy cat lady across the street feeds them There can be a flock of several hundred hanging around for months. It is fun when the hungry hawks come and use ones attracted to the feeder area as a buffet though.

In your particular case though I would pay close attention to the critter section. You mentioned it would be near the garbage cans and that can really be an issue since the wildlife love parked cars in the winter.

Brings to mind storing my first brand new car. Back in 1966, I was deployed for two years and "stored" my pride and joy, back on the farm, in a barn. My father moved it to another part of the barn ...... under where the pigeons roosted. My younger sister just turned 16 and asked if she could drive it. My younger brother needed new tires for his car ..... and guess where they came from. My other younger brother wrecked his car and needed transportation ..... yep, you guessed it. I came home to my pride and joy and the bird poop had eaten through the paint; the battery was dead; the tires were bald; the front end was smashed up ....... and it was out of gas ......... humfrz |

Don't put a car cover on it. If you want covered storage, buy something like this: http://www.harborfreight.com/10-ft-x...age-69039.html .
For the most part, putting a car cover on for long term outdoor storage in winter has the potential to cause more damage than it prevents. Fill the tank, pour some fuel stabilizer in it. Either put a battery tender or pull the battery. If you're worried about critters there's a product called fresh cab that you can throw in the car. Smells like pine and keeps out rodents (I just bought a bunch of this to try to keep them out of my garage for the winter). Honestly, you're overthinking this. In all likelihood, you could park this car at the first snow with no special preparation and jump start it in the spring without any issues. -Justin |
