Default Winter Storage Questions?? I know we went over this b4 but....

I am putting the Z to sleep on Sunday cuz it is going to snow here in the Northeast

I keep hearing all these different ways to store the Z in the winter.. Can you guyz give me the best way and what I need to do when I put her away!? It will be in a garage with a cement floor that has not bee treated. The reason I say that is because i read somewhere that I should put a blanket on the floor then drive the car on it?? Is that right?

I also read I should park it on Styrofoam??? whats up guys I need help fast!!!!!!

It depends on if you are going to drive it sometimes over the winter months when the weather is good .This will be the 3 winter I seen and when it is dry I bring it out for a good boot around town , other than that make sure you have a full tank , I keep a automatic battery charger hooked, up have your tires inflated properly, clean it cover her and that should be good.
My garage is cement as well untreated.

When I used to Store my motorcycle I would park on cardboard. It is supposed to keep the tires from deteriorating, at least thats what I have read. Also, if you keep gas in it, you might consider a fuel stabilizer depending on how long you are going to not run the engine.

yep when you put in storage i would suggest putting about half tank of gas in it then running to walmart and get a thing of "Fuel-stabill" Its red. and put that in so when you do start the car it isnt eating rotten fuel.

definetely put something under your tires - plastic/cardboard/etc. if not, the cement will pull moisture out of the tires and cause them to deteriorate - or something like that.
