-Desiccators in the cabin- keeps air fresh and protects leather and wood.
-Block wheels, don't use e-brake.
-Manually turn engine over in the spring by pushing in 5th gear. You will hear the engine turn over and take big gulps of air.
-I move the car the beginning of every month, by hand, about 10 inches. Further prevents flatspotting.
-First drive of the spring is about 350 miles, and then buy fresh gas.
Wow, I take the tires up to 50 and throw in fuel stabile... and drop the insurance to storage level. And this year I get to put on a used car cover. Maybe I'm not doing enough? I do use a 78% Nitrogen mix for the tires.
