why exactly should the stang be stored with a full tank of gas? and shouldnt the windows be cracked to let moisture from the warmer winter days to escape? And i also heard starting it to let it run too much in the winter causes a build up of moisture in the mufflers and exhaust. whats up?

a full fuel tank helps keep the water in there from freezing. stabil fuel stabilizer is a good idea too. nice call soaring

you can leave your windows cracked if you like mouse **** and chewed interior. you won't build up any moisture inside the car even on the warmest of winter days......odds are the hottest winter day might be 45-50 degrees.

running your car in the winter keeps the fluids running through the lines. as well as keeping all the moving parts......well moving. you aren't going to build up as much moisture in your exhaust as you would say.....driving it every day in the winter and people do that all the time so i wouldn't be concerned about that.
