Here in Massachusetts, we are having our "Indian Summer" where it's humid for a few days and then BAM right into Fall again. I want to take advantage of this time to properly prepare my Shelby Lancer for storage. So I have a couple questions for you fellow rust belt dwellers out there.
- Should I store the car on uncovered concrete in the garage or put something under it to keep the moisture on the ground?
- Should I cover the car with a good cover or will that also trap moisture close to the body?
- Do those little silicon packets that you get with electronics help keep moisture out of the interior? If not, what does?
- Is gas stabilizer the way to go or should I just fill the tank and let it sit?
The garage is unheated and does retain some moisture when we get that wet snow early and late winter (the windows fog up). Last year I just parked it on some thin plastic, filled the tank with a gas/stabilizer mix, and called it a day. I'd like to be a little more proactive this year.
