Ah well, we had our first real winter storm last thursday. They put some salt on the roads. So, that'll be it for my Corvette this year.
I did the following to it for winter storage;
Checked all fluids
Oil change
Topped off fuel tank + fuel stabilizer
Dryer sheets in and around the car
Moth balls around garage floor
Put on car cover
I store mine in an unheated detached garage.
I start it up & let it run for about 15-20 minutes every 10 days or so.
I pump the brakes alot & pull it back and forth in the driveway, weather permitting.
Did I miss anything?

Kevin, you can also cut up some bars of Irish Spring soap, and leave it inside the interior. The critters don't like the scent........(I do and you might like it also) I guess the dryer sheets and the moth balls do pretty much the same. If you stored your baby in a car bag...you could also add dessicant bags to absorb any moisture. Another thing that can be done is; plastic put under the care, where the moisture comes up from. Keep those brakes pumped, as you said you would.

I feel sorry for you guys that live in the "snow belt". I think the last snow we had in eastern NC was in 1989. We're fortunate to be able to drive our cars year-round. Maybe it's because we live in the "bible belt".

I went out and worked on a snowblower in the garage today.......
they kept lookin at me.....
Who knows we may have to move to a warmer climate.....
That would make em happier and who knows maybe there are better jobs elsewhere.....
Now if I can just talk my wife into it.....
