Storing My Vette
Does anyone recommend that for storage purposes during the winter, that I put my vette on jack stands so that I do not get flat spots on the tires??? I have never stored a vehicle before and any ideas that anyone has would be helpful... Please keep in mind that the tires are GoodYear Run Flats.

Do a CF search for corvette storing and see what comes up.
However, this is what I do to my 2000 FRC.
1. Wash, and wax your Corvette. Be sure to vacuum the interior.
2. Treat the leather interior.
3. Pump up your OEM run-flats to 35-40 psi.
4. Add a gas stabilizer to your full gas tank.
5. Attach a battery tender to your battery.
6. Store some moth ***** under your hood.
7. Keep a piece of charcoal or other dessicant in your interior.
8. Cover your exhaust pipes with some clear plastic bags.
That just about covers the bases for me.

No need to put the car on jack stands - the newer style tires do not really get flat spots like older tires did. I just put some extra air in the tires and put a piece of carpet under each tire.
I have a few Word files that discuss winter storage tips - if you'd like a copy, just PM me your e-mail address.
