Default Corvette Storage

I store my Corvette in a cement floored garage. What do other people in a freezing climate use to protect the underside of the Corvette (during the winter)? i.e. Do you put down a tarp, poly, etc?

I do nothing. I throw a little stabilizer in the gas tank and kill the battery switch. Other than that, I never do anything. Depending on the tires, probably couldn't hurt to have the wheels sit on a couple layers of carpet or something.

Someone on the C4 forum just gave me the same idea. I like it! :cheers:

I knew I was going to get that question. Not actually storing the car, yet. Just "thinking" about it while I am waiting for the others to wake up. :lol:
