2nd question: I have the car in one of those storage car ports in my yard. I don't have a garage. The storage port is good to keep the rain and weather off, but the grass floor is no good. I know that's a killer. They say gravel holds moisture. Any ideas on flooring to save the car frame?
1) Plug into the cig lighter.

2) Park on a thick mil painter's tarp from Home Depot. May help a little.

Easy. Pump up tires to about 55 psi.
