rba44 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hey All, I just have a question re storing. I have the good luck to be storing my car indoors, not in a garage but indoors, climate controlled. no critters, clean studio. Other then the normal stuff I have read about, Oil change top up fuel and stabilizer ( what stabilizer do you recommend) , pump up tires +4 PSI, Clean and Wax. Do you think I need to do anything else to it? Should I cover it? Should I keep roof up or down? Do I need to start it and run engine or should I put tender on? Any help is appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is appreciated Thanks I put a battery tender on and cover my car in addition to everything else you mention. I think there are some posters that also use the inflatable car capsules as well...which I think is the ulitmate for car hibernation. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Gorilla Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Seems like you covered almost everything. Grabber has some pretty extensive write-ups, with pictures, regarding this topic. Maybe you can search for his posts. I think he has one of those "bubbles." Unless you're sure of no critters, mousetraps might not be a bad idea. I caught three or four mice in my garage last winter.

Shelby.GT500 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 . I caught three or four mice in my garage last winter. Inside that neat garage of yours? I wonder what kind of reptiles are hiding in mine then lol. I like your car lifts man and why can't the shelby be underneath? haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Gorilla Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Inside that neat garage of yours? I wonder what kind of reptiles are hiding in mine then lol. I like your car lifts man and why can't the shelby be underneath? haha! Well, that was LAST winter, before I had the garage redone. Maybe I'll just catch neater, cleaner mice this year. The GT500 is on top because it's a better car! My kids are less likely to ding/scratch it when it's up there (The real reason is that I need the M-B underneath since it's my daily driver). What make of lift is it???? It's Harding Steel, Inc.: http://www.hardingsteel.com/ It works well, is incredibly sturdy, and looks cool. It was put in by Potomac Garage Solutions, who did the entire garage: http://www.potomacgaragesolutions.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
