Tommy - I store my car through the Minnesota winters. All I do clean it real good, crack the windows a little, remove the battery and put it on a trickle charger. I usually make sure the fuel tank is topped off with good quality gasoline, and I over-inflate the tires about 5 lbs. That's it. When putting the car back into service, I change the oil and filter, and alternating years I change out the coolant or the brake fluid. The car has always started right up in the spring. This has worked through 9 winters of cold storage, and one in a heated garage. This system has also worked for 3 other cars I store over the winter, with no undue degradation mechanically or cosmetically.

Dear DML, [snip] However, I do have a hypotetical question which people may respond too. Say I had a car that ran quite well, and i decided to put her up for the winter, and not even turn her over once for, oh say 6 months. What else do i do besides drain the gas out of the tank to keep the fuel system from rusting/rotting? Anyway, take care, and Sorry John, i wish i could do it. Tommy Porter
