Default Winter Storage???????????????

Time to put the car away and suspend the insurance.

I bought a can of Sea Foam and poured it in the gas tank along with a fresh load of fuel. The can says it's great for stabilizing your fual. Any problems here. Thanks.

fuel stabilizer is a great idea along with a battery tender.

That's not necessary. Just get a tub of moisture dry in there. No smells, ever.

For an accident.. Don't be dumb. Be careful when you drive your fbod in the snow. It's not like youre driving a ford taurus around, its not as replaceable as you may think.

I learned to drive in the snow on a 91 RS v8 without traction control or ABS and the posi was worn out so essentially an open differential. I guess it was good for learning to drive careful in the snow but damn i would not wanna do it again.
