I leave mine in an unheated garge next to my house...I like others have already mentioned clean the whole car, fill the gas tank and cover it...I dont use a trinkle charger but I do, on nice days take it to the end of my drive way and back and let it idle (even though some people say don't Idle, I have never had a problem with it) for about 20 minutes or so...I aslo just walk around the car once in awhile, checking for leaks etc. Mine went in the garge a week ago for the winter (we already have had a foot and a half of snow here in the Catskills of new york) and it won't be out again till may

I leave mine dirty, in the driveway
with old oil. 1/4 tank of regular, low tire pressure,
and drive it almost every day
all winter long.
Love Texas.
