That time of year

It's about that time. Time to take the 7 off the road for the winter. The weather here has been so cold and rainy lately. It just adds to the depressing mood of knowing I can't drive the RX for a few months. How many of you colder climate guys are putting yours away or already have?

I'm just finishing up my turbo 7. It runs and will be tuned and finished within a week. Just in time for winter. My 7 never gets put away, I can't afford a winter beater, but I try to drive it as little as possible when there's salt on the roads, and I always spray off the car at least weekly.

A 250-300hp, 2100lbs car will be a fun winter car

I plan on storing mine this winter, I also plan on doing some work on it in the winter months (getting rid of some surface rust and repainting the car)

I have a Suzuki jeep that i'm gonna use during the winter (the 4X4 is gonna be useful for our heavy snowfall we get up north)

Is there anything i should keep in mind when i store my car away like this for like 4-5 months. I'm gonna try to start it once a month and run it for a while and stuff, but is there anything else i could do.

Don't forget to add some Stabil fuel stabilizer to the gas.

once it starts to get in the 30's everyday I'll be forced to put mine away for the winter. Most likely in a few weeks or so

I'd rather put on a coat then sweat my ***** off down there. I remember going out to get the mail when I lived there and coming back in the house with sweat on myself durring the summer. But up here in MN sucks also because of the extreme cold we get sometimes. Louisiana was nice in the winter. I guess the north and south suck
