Thank you and love the forum!

Before putting it away, change the oil and filter (critical), add StaBil to the tank and fill it, drive the car for about 10 min to circulate the stabilized fuel, clean the car, hook it up to a good battery maintainer (we prefer Ctek), park it and put a cover over it. Do not periodically start it unless you are going to drive the car a road speeds for 20-30 min. Starting the car and letting run is one of the worst things you can do to it.
