Moisture inhibitor
The item you are looking for is silica gel to remove moisture from the air inside the car during storage. You can buy it in containers that are reuseable at sporting good stores or gun shops. It is used in gun safes very frequently. If your not going to move the car for a long period of time it might be wise to roll the tires to different positions so you don't get a flat spot on the tread.

So how about changing the oil after storage? It'll be fine if i take it somewhere right... i mean it'd only be about a 10min drive away.
Actually i kinda got f&*ked... forecasts showed it to be clear all week, and it was clear and warm so i was planning on washing/detailing it on the weekend when i had the time... then a few nights ago it snowed by surprise with now a total of a couple feet of snow.
So it's stuck in the garage for good it seems... gas tank's not topped up, car is still a bit dirty from rain the night before... *sigh*... what to do...

That's what i'm hoping for. As long as it's a nice day and decently dry... even if there's a bit of snow here or there it'll be fine as long as it's fairly cold and not all slushy.

11 days to go for me. I've stored cars before but I also started them at least once a month for appox. 20 minutes at a time. Never had a problem. Using the trans. going back and forth & etc. With my Z...I'll be starting more often and every chance I get. Good Luck! ps...heavy cardboard or carpet is very important!!!
