Process of storing car for winter

[shadowgray396]

Car cover on mine, Sta Bil in the gas tank, battery disconnected and hooked to a battery tender, I don't put mine up on anything. Car is stored in a heated garage. I'm looking at buying a set of Go Jack car dollies or something very close to them that don't cost so much.

I was just reading some of the NOCC monthly newsletter and one of the suggestions is dryer sheets inside the cabin, trunk and trunk. Mark said that since he has used them he has not had a mice problem in the car, and it smells good when he gets into in the spring.

I've read on an RV forum that they work pretty good. Don't have a problem with mice in the garage but may put some in the motorhome.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will think of you when I am spending 20 minutes trying to get the layers of ice off of my van. Or I will just hit the remote start on the little car and when it is warm I will go out and get in it. lol

lol great thread! what i usually do with the rx7
drive it to the external garage behind the house. hit the kill switch on the battery plug in the battery tender. put in dryer sheets in the cabin and trunk put some kitty litter around the car (keeps the mice out) sta-bil in the tank close the door leave it until spring.
this spring tho the rx7 is going to get some loving i need to pull the motor out and replace it or rebuild it since spun a bearing the chevelle will stay in the main garage and get the same treatment minus the kitty litter...lol

I have always heard that Bounce dryer sheets work best to keep mice out. Also heard that Irish Spring soap works too. Just take a knife and cut slices of the soap and put them in the car.
