Long Term Corvette Storage
A hypothetical question here:
If you wanted to store a Corvette long term - i.e. over 6 to 8 months at any given stretch, what would be the procedure(s)? Where would be the best place to store it? Is there anyone on here that has done it? Car is a C5Z06 with 1850 miles on it. The desire would be to drive her while back in the US, then put it back in storage. Any ideas?

Mine is in storage right now and these were the tips given to me from your friendly corvette forum:
Top it off with premium and a full can of seafoam and let it run for about 5 minutes to work it through the fuel lines..
1-2 boxes of baking soda (open) for the interior to keep it fresh along with 1-2 sheets of fabric softener (supposedly mice/bugs hate it)..
Car cover..
Disconnect battery..
Over-inflate tires (slightly) or drive the car onto thick pieces of carpet to prevent flat spots..
Wash it and wax it as good as you can. Make sure it's as dry as possible before storage..
I think that's pretty much it.. Guys/gals did I miss anything?
