It's bitter sweet to have my 99 C2 put away for the winter. I live near Chicago and am fortunate enought to have an option not to drive my Carerra this winter. So... this is what I did to get it ready for its long hybernation.

* Wash, dry, drive, and re-dry the nooks and crannies.

* Zymol wax, Zymol seals, Zymol leather (treat),and Zymol vinyl.

* Drove the car to Shell gas station and filled up with V-Power and added 7oz. Stabil .

* Changed the oil & filter, Mobil 1 0w-40.

* Drove the car 2 miles just to circulate the fresh oil.

* Parked the car in a attatched non-heated garage.

* Under each tire I placed 1/4 inch super dense foam so the the tires are not in contact with the cement floor.

* Increased tire PSI to 55

* Attatched a Battery Tender Jr.

* Dusted the car off.

* Coverd the car with 100% cotton sheets.

* Cried like a baby!!!

I plan on manually rolling the car every month, but may not start it up till late April. Anything I missed..suggestions? Thanks

Don't forget to read stories (from Motor Trend) every once in a while so it doesn't get lonely!
