Winter Storage update
Okay, so here's the deal. Last week I changed the oil, and had my washer and nut recall fix completed. I pumped the tires up to 40 psi and waxed the car with NXT tech wax. I also went out to Home Depot and bought some indoor outdoor carpet with the rubber under coating, nice stuff and only .56 cents per sq ft. With it I also purchased some rubber edging with the self adhesive tape. With a little patience I made a carpet that is 15 feet long by 7 feet wide. It is now in place and ready for my vert. This should help reduce the moisture from the cold concrete here in Ontario. All I need to do now is wait for the rain to stop and fill my tank with 94 octane Sunoco. Did I forget anything?

[QUOTE=GrayC5]You may have already seen this from C5 Tech Tips, but it might be good to use as a check list: Storing a C5.
Yep, this link is the ticket! The only thing that I would add is to make sure you fill your tank with a gasoline that is not considered a fuel gauge offensive gasoline for your area. If in doubt, check threads in this forum or check with someone in your local corvette club that might have a view on gas gauge friendly gasolines.

Get some Sta-Bil (fuel stablilzer) and a battery tender. May want to get some of the packets that absorb moisture also. Then you should be ready to go.
