Storing baby in unheated garage...any tips :)

Hey boys, living in waterloo Canada and I'm storing my car starting today in a garage. It's not a heated garage. I'm going to wash it and wax it, cover it. I'm also going to get a trickle charger for the battery and an oil stabilizer. Any other tips to keep my babe comfortable throughout the winter?

Watch out for mice wanting a comfy home. Set traps around tbehind he tires (they climb), under the hood and floorboards. I'm serious.

The best advice ..... Put down sticky mouse traps around the garage, mouses look for a place to stay indoors during the winter

if its being stored inside a garage why not drive it inside the garage once a week to make sure the tires don't warp, happened to my buddies M roadster had to replace his front and one if his rears. unless its a car hole in your house then you're better off just jacking it up and keeping it off the ground on jack stands

If you drop your tire pressure a bit (30-32 psi) this shouldn't be a problem. I store my car every year and i've been good.

Windshield washer fluid - a lot of ppl forget this one. Make sure it's not summer fluid or your tank will be frozen solid and could split.

Fuel stabilizer - fill up your tank full of fuel. This will reduce condensation build up. Then put in some fuel stablizer.

I think you got the idea for the most part. I wash and wax, cover. I know some people do put it on jack stands.

This year I might buy a battery tender to leave on it for the winter.
