C7 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist 2021
I have been storing cars here in Cold Winter Michigan at my home for 30 years, I also pump up tires to 35 psi, hook up battery tender, around 1/4 tank of gas and wait for Spring and NEVER any problems. I try to at least get to December 1st before storing so I catch those last good days in November before the snow really hits.

Like many others I fill the gas tank, put in stabilizer, steel wool in the exhaust tips and battery tender. But I also put a bunch of dryer sheets in a plastic sandwich bag and put it in the trunk, get a couple plastic cups and put cotton ***** in the cup, soak the cotton ***** with oil of peppermint and put one in each side of the engine bay then put one on drivers side and passenger side floor (re-soak every 2 months) . The mice HATE the smell of Peppermint. It might be overkill ( my garage is finished) but haven't had one sign of critters. Plus it smells good come spring lol!!
