Indoor winter storage tips

[Cobratron]

All right I know this has been posted time and time again, but I went through the old searches and wanted to hear some fresh opinions.

For the past 3 years I've stored my car. Here's the super exciting video of how I store the car. the car never sees rain or snow.

Now that I'm married and new bills are stacking up I decided to stop storing the car in this garage and save $500/year.

So now I'm going to store it at my house in the garage. I keep reading that starting your car every week or 2 weeks till the engine gets warm is not a good thing to do.

My plan is to
1) start it once ever week or 2 and then take it out whenever the roads were clear of snow/salt
2) put the car cover on there, do a oil change, and get a batter tender

that's it.....any tips would be appreciated it! thx

Park car in garage. Start car every few weeks/months, whatever through winter. Change Oil. Take car out of garage, get new gas and drive.

Ive winter stored the car for the last 6 winters and have never even put a battery tender on it. I would try to have it started every two weeks, but sometimes it would go months without being started. Never had a problem. I used to be more anal about it, but I slowly realized its a Mustang, this isnt rocket science and its not a race car.

if it will sit all winter. i would jack the car up and put it up on jack stands so the tires wont get flat a spot.

Never had a problem with the older foxes...trickle the battery very month or two, inflate the tires a lot and put a car cover on it...if it's in heated garage you're lucky if not you better pray the weather doesn't go warm cold warm...this climate messes with cars...

Fill up tank, add fuel stabilizer, fresh oil change, trickle battery, car cover, and I don't touch it for 4-5 months. Starts right up in early april, easy on first tank of gas then let'r eat after that.

I just give it a nice wash and put the cover on it and let is sleep, its not a race car just a high end mustang, nothing gonna happen to it.

No need to start the car until you are ready to start driving it again.

Just put a battery tender on it.
