I tucked my ’96 GTS away the first week in November last fall. Here was my storage checklist:

– put a couple of Silica gel packs in the interior
– stuffed rags in the exhaust (to prevent a critter from crawling in)
– pumped the tires up to 50 psi
– parked her on some carpet squares which I’d stapled to 1/2in MDF
– chocked the wheels (and left it in neutral with the ebrake off)
– put some paper towels between the wipers and the windshield
– added Stabil to to the gas
– hooked up to Battery Tender Plus

She stayed in the garage all winter where I keep it heated to 41 degrees (arbitrary number that seems warm enough). I probably opened the driver side door once or twice but that’s it.

This morning, after more than 4 months in hibernation, she fired up without a moments hesitation, ready to go! Drove about 60 miles and dropped her off to have some pre-spring work done. Was very excited that everything felt good. Tires weren’t flat spotted and it had no trouble rolling – brakes hadn’t stuck at all or anything.

Here comes the season!
