Good way to save on storage and insurance.

Yea, back in the days when I had money... oh wait, I never had money. Never mind.

1-Tarp the garage floor
2- Put car on jack stands
3- Check and top off all fluids
4- Add half mixture of marine stabil and marvil mystery oil in the tank. (A friend of mine did lab tests and found using marine stabil and marvil mystery oil in every tank full helps older car motors run better and not wear down due to all the nitrogen and other cleaners in new gas these days)
5-Disconnect battery
6- Apply a coat of wax or chrome polish on all exterior trim parts
7- Place dryer sheets in the interior,trunk and engine bay.
8- Cover car with soft car cover then place an all weather cover on top
9- Close up garage

I might start it once a month only if the weather is really nice and somewhat warm
