Been reading a lot of articles about storing cars for the winter months. I am putting my baby up on the 19th of October. If I am storing it for 6 months should I put it on jack stands for the winter to keep from flat spotting the tires? I see many articles and they all have different theorys. Octobers handymans issue was the last article I read. by the way it was a good artice about tucking your baby away.
Modern tires tend not to flat spot, unless sitting for years. That said, putting the car on blocks unloads the suspension,(which keeps it from sagging), makes it harder for rodents to gain entry, and generally isn't a bad idea at all.
I just top off the tank and park it for the winter. Once or twice on really nice days throughout the winter I'll fire it up, but I don't do anything special.
I add fuel stabilizer apply a battery tender a few days a week and cover it. When the weather permits throughout the winter I will take it out for short drives. The engine loves cold temps.
No chance of us northern boys going for a cruz on "nice" days during winter. Nice would be 35° and the roads would be white with salt. It's like your driving down a gravel road. Nothing but white dust in the rearview.....
I may have to report you for bringing up this bad memory in my mind! Winter needs to stay away! I am going to fill out paperwork and reserve a spot for winter tonight 8(
