Change the oil right before you park it. have the gas filled all the way to the top and add fuel stabilizer. Do not start it at all until you are ready to drive it in the spring.

Yea, unless your going to let it run for about 30 mins at a minimum, you drain the battery more starting it then helping it.

I bought a SLP car cover last year. It worked pretty good for me.

If all possible, put a crappy set of wheels and tires that you don't care about because over time, they will develop flat spots
