I'd recommend plastic or open cell foam if that's what you're looking for. Carpet retains moisture, and we know what moisture does to our lovely vehicles.
I’ve never had issues with it either I just remove mats from cars going to the auction it can’t hurt being under the tires. I just started doing it a few years ago. I do put a shit load of dryer sheets all over the interior and moth balls by the garage doors.
There ya go then.
You're assuming he's never parked a vehicle that's been in the salt on that side of the garage, or the previous owner. If he's climate controlled, really don't even need anything under the tires, just over-inflate 5-10psi, fill the tank, and throw the maintainer on it. If he's not climate controlled, I'd just throw it on jack stands.
Yep dryer sheets in the car and under it/around the garage.
No need to fill the tank it just takes longer to burn that winter blend old gas plus it’s 4 mos storage I’m sure everyone will start the vehicles once in awhile.
Not filling the tank will allow for condensation to build and rust to form if you have a steel tank in your car.
Just leave it be until it's spring. Just like most things, we over prepare when realistically you could park that fucker for a year as-is without any problems.
One of the reasons for breaking the tire contact with concrete is to prevent the rubber from drying out and cracking, since as previously mentioned concrete is porous.
Just get some foam board insulation cut into squares to place under the tires. I use some 3/4" foil-backed foam board insulation under my cruiser's tires. It's cheap, can easily be cut to the right size, and can be reused from year-to-year.
Like this.
Plus, whatever is left over you can use to kneel or lay on if you have to work on cold pavement.

Yeah I have heard both sides to the story with the gas, again I have never had an issue with it, its really only in there for 4ish months. I usually just add a bottle of the Techron fuel system additive on first fill up after I take it out in the spring as preventative. It has about 1/2 tank in it now, and while my garage isn't heated or a controlled temperature it is attached to the house so it definitely keeps things from freezing or getting too out of control temperature wise.
Yeah, I mean the chance of significant rust and issues happening in one winter would be pretty slim, just was saying that's the reasoning.
I think my Camaro is on 3/4 tank or so, same with my truck. I'm not too worried about it. I added Stabil to the mower, but haven't added any to anything else as of yet.
