Many of us up here in New England do what I call "soft" storage. With the mild winter, I've been able to take the car out once or twice a week when the streets are dry. I keep the gas tank full and add a dose of Stabil 360 since I won't be changing over fuel as much. If we get snow and it looks like it might be a few days before the streets are clean enough to take her out, I'll plug in the CTEK. My garage is well insulated and stays pretty warm, but if we have a serious cold spell, I'll slide in some wheel chocks and release the e-brake. I'll also release the top with the handle to relieve the tension on the top mechanism.

One other note: I swap over to winter tires as well. I don't like to drive summer rubber when the temps are less than 50 degrees.
