Default Storage Help
I'm leaving for Iraq in a few weeks and will be storing my 92 for about 7 months. I was planning on selling but couldn't bring myself to do it. I've stored C3s for past deployments but never a C4. What special C4 precautions should be taken? Any recommendations are welcome.

Thanks

I don't think the C4 needs any special treatment that other cars wouldn't receive. Just the usual should do it. 7 months is not too terribly long.

Be careful over there, man!

You might want to do something to make sure the higher humidity in summer down there doesn't cause mildew in the interior. Leave windows open all the way, make sure the cover breathes. If possible put a dehumidifier in the garage with a hose draining it to the outside.

Thanks for looking out for us at home and be careful over there.
