Plastic under car. Winter storage.
Storing my car for the first winter. A 4 month stint. In a block garage with concrete floor. Should I put plastic under it to minimize moisture rising?

I don't see how any moisture will be evaporating in the Winter months....espeically in garage with no heat. The best defense is ventilation....not plastic...if you are really concerned.

I have a huge moisture problem in my area due to the proximity of salt water. I ended up buying a "Car Bag" to keep the car in and the moisture out. The first year I didn't use it I found that the motor was acting like a huge condenser and was covered with water when I checked it, especially in very early spring. I know a lot of guys who simply cover the car in winter, which if your cover breaths and you don't have the moisture issues like I have will probably work fine.
