Default Re: winterizing virgin

Michigan winters are long and hard, and I've stored my roadster for 4 of them and the SRT6 for 1. Waldig gives good advice. You can also buy float chargers at Harbor Freight for about $6/each, but with shipping it's better to buy 2-3.

Give it a good washing. Put in the recommended amount of Sta-Bil and a bottle of gas line antifreeze, then fill it. Fill the tires up to recommended pressure +2 lbs. Buy a cheap cover from Walmart to keep the dust off it. Last winter I used a self-store place and could only get the cars started once and drove them around the lot once. This year it's back to my garage and I'll probably start them every 4-6 weeks. In the self-store I put sticky boards along the walls and two boxes of moth ***** on the floor - no problems with vermin. Moving the cars -- drive them around the block if the roads are dry/salt-free, reduces the flat spots.
