So everyone who puts their car into long term winter storage, do you perform any maintenance on it during storage or just forget about it until spring?
Myself I just start it up every three to four weeks and let it get well warmed up.  Try to take it up and down the driveway a few times to work the brakes, steering and gears.

Thats what I usually do. Just did that today. Been anywhere from 3 months to 6 weeks on firing up the old iron.

I disconnect the battery, add stabil to the gas, cover her up and let sit till spring. she is inside in a heated space.
when I start her in spring, she fires right up,no problem. I ve been doing like this for years.

I finally bought a 2 bank battery tender and hooked it up around xmas.  That was the last I thought about doing anything.
