I'm wondering what to do if I don't really have the option to start and drive my car every once in a wile wile its stored. I would change the oil and put a full tank of freash gas with stablizer in it. but I am in the army and wile I am deployed i don't get a chance to come back and starter up every three weeks or so. any tips would be great.

we never have run the stangs in the "storage" period (dont like calling it []winter[]). noone i know does up here for any car, and everything is fine. never had problems, and noone else ever has.

hmm. thanks for the tips. im PCSing to Kuwait for a year, at least and my car will be in storage while im away.

ill prolly just throw my old tires/rims on there during storage so i dont fsck up my new tires.

raising it on jackstands is a good thing? i figured your springs would be really stretched out after a while.

id appreciate the help. i leave around july.




ps. wondering what ill do with it when i get back from kuwait.... boost? cobra? hmm....

I start mine once every 10 days or so for about 15 mins. I turn on the A/C as well to keep the O rings lubed and prevent cracking which causes refrigerant leakage.

Move it to a different spot in the garage to keep the tires good.
I know some guys who put styrofoam under the tires thinking this will prevent flat spotting (maybe it does).

In addition to stabil, I pour in a bottle of gas line anti freeze as extra protection to keep water from condensation from screwing internals up.

Keeping it covered is a good idea.

As much as I hate storing it, the feeling of taking it out for the first run in spring is AWESOME!

I just got a 2004 Cobra in october and it has been in the garge for about a month and a half. I don't want to mess anything up so any sugestions. I have let it warm up a couple of times but it hasn't moved since then. Any IDEAS?

It may sound fun to take your stang out for some snow abuse, but I had to spend a whole winter driving my dearly departed 66 coupe...no fun, no traction, no more rustfree body.I am now a firm believer in winter stang' storage. My 91 LX will never touch snow again, unless it slings from my boots as I walk by to jump in the 94Ranger beater truck.

While I'm up at school, both my mustangs get stored. I don't really prep them much because if anything they will sit a maximum of 3 weeks. Whenever I go home though I start both and let them run for a good 10 minutes each.
