Parking my Stinger for the winter . What do I need to do to the car to store it ?

[Tony S]

I'm parking it in unheated garage for the winter months .

Fire it up once or twice a month? Roll around the block on a nice day to spare the tires being flat-spotted. Dust it off every few days. Sit in it and listen to some music (these can all be attended to simultaneously, of course ). You're in the GWN, so a battery "trickler" seems like a very good idea to me.

Parked my GTS in the barn for the winter last week. Covered with a good indoor car cover. Put a few mouse traps inside and around the car. I was going to connect trickle charger but disconnected the battery instead because of the engine fire issue

Oil change, and fill the tank with the highest octane you can find... fuel stabilizer wouldn't be a bad idea... you are going to want to either spin the tires once in a while, or get some "flatstoppers"

Whatever you do, dont do this.

I parked my Z06 for 8 months when I went to Afghanistan. Unheated garage, mixed weather, Jan-Sept.

I filled the tank, poured some fuel stabilizer, put it on a trickle charger, and covered it. When I came home it fired right up, no problems.
