Long Term Storage Questions??????
So my work may be taking me to Norway. I will be over there for 2-5 years. I have a high milage 98 C5 (120+K miles). Obviously the car is paid for and I am very attached to it. However I am torn between storing it or selling it. Two options on storing it: 1. Father-in-Law's aircraft hanger - Just a big garage really no climate control. 2. Paying for a storage unit with climate control or not.
So if I store it for that long what do I need to do assuming no climate control? I guess I have to remove the battery and drain the fuel tank but what else? If I go climate controled what would that do for me?
With the milage and that it has been lightly modded I figure the car is worth about $15K.

5 years sell it
it will be 13 plus years old. How much will it cost you in climate control for 5 years 
Better to leave it and have someone drive it around the hanger every month.
