[DML] That time of year again (storage)





Hi All.

I have been on the forum for about 4 years and have read just about 
every post, but this is the 1st year actually owning one. 

Usually around this time of year there are a few posts about storing 
the car for the winter. I know there are lots of other posts from 
previous years, but I also know that there are new products, methods, 
and with the cars getting older, there may be better ways of doing it.

I purchased a "carcoon" and plan on storing the car in that (un-
heated dry garage). FYI - a "carcoon" is a plastic bubble that keeps 
a trickle charge on the battery and circulates dry air to control 
humidity - http://www.carcoon.com

I plan on doing the following:
1 Oil Change
2 Drive to almost out of gas and fill 1/2 way with fresh gas
3 Add fuel stabilizer
4 Clean, leather conditioner, ect.
5 Check coolant for temp range (changed 2 months ago).
6 Store with all docs, keys, etc
7 Store in Carcoon with car cover
8 Put on jack stands / blocks to take most of the weight off tires???
(to eliminate flat spots)

Anything else I am missing or should / should not do?
