.how >do people store their cars for the winter? should it be in a heated >garage with carpet or doesnt it matter. I heard that cement sweats >during the winter and that water will get in my frame.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of those "how much do you want to do?" questions. If your garage is heated and climate controlled - wonderful. However, the number of DeLoreans stored in such an environment are very few. So, let's get realistic. FUEL: The single most important thing to worry about if your car is to be stored for the winter is to take care of the fuel system. Fill the tank just before you put up the car for the winter and be sure to add some fuel stabilizer according to the directions on the product. In addtion, I suggest you run the car for 10 to 20 minutes once per month during the winter. Run it long enough to have the fans come on at least once. TIRES: Avoid those flat spots by having the car up on jack stands. If you don't do this, at least make some movement of the tires periodically (like when you run the car once a month) so that there is a different point of contact between the tires and the concrete. MOISTURE: If that is a real problem in your area, a piece of old carpet might not be a bad idea. Also, get some moisture aborber at your local Home Depot or the like and use according to directions. BATTERY: Either have a battery tender type of device or disconnect the battery during long periods of storage. CRITTERS: Often a problem. D-Con or some other form of critter control is a very good measure. Of course, if you really have some money to spend, you might look into the Carcoon sold by DMC Houston.
