A couple of ideas - Buy a good cover. It will cover the complete car including wheels.
You can buy a kit for the moisture that goes inside the car.
And don't forget to plug your exhaust so that mice will not make them their home.

here's a link to a "winterizing" kit from Mid-America which contains some general information that may be useful even if you don't get the kit.

I thought bout doing that, but won't they just come flying out the other end if you start the car and floor it?
