Don't wash your car and then immediately store it - its still wet. You have to drive it or leave it out for a day or two so that all the moisture goes away.

Years ago I would start her up for about 10 minutes every 1-2 weeks but then I realised (and read) that in very cold climates the condensation does become an issue. So now she sits for the 6-7 months. Disconnect the negative battery terminal at the very least - I take the whole battery out and store it in a semi-heated area of the garage... come May she starts instantly.

I've read some really crazy tips where as somebody mentioned take out the spark plugs and pour oil down there (ya like why?). I also heard about disconnecting the ignition wires from the sparkplugs and taking out the fuses for the fuel injectors - that way you go to crank and no spark or fuel happens but the oil pump starts circulating throughout the engine.

Can't be bothered to go that far lol... storage for me is to keep the mody body in mint condition - engine will get rebuilt eventually anyways.

The coldest it gets for me is like 40, maybe 30 once.

And as DVS said about the spark/fuel less start i've also heard about that being a good thing to do

It's the white stuff that falls from the sky and it rhymes with bliow, which is also white. Just look in the freezier, the white icy stuff you see in there, kinda like snow.... (lucky bastards...)
