This is what peace-of-mind looks like!

Parked under a ventilated, fleece lined cover until early April. :D :banana2:


No snow, no salt, no rust, no chances of getting hit in the snow/ice, no chances of spinning it into a ditch. 96,662 miles now, bought 4/13/12 with 88,254 on it. 8408 miles in 7.5 months.

I want to break it out of storage before April 13th, so I can celebrate one year with a nice drive (and my birthday is 4/15!!), but if it's still snowy or salty out, she'll stay in until we get our first heavy rain and it washes all the salt away. We don't usually have any snow on the ground in April, but it's hard to say sometimes..

I'm looking forward to the day, but able to sleep easy now!

What else has been done to protect the car besides the cover?

[Chad1987]

Full tank of gas when parked
Appropriate amount of Sta-Bil
Rodent protection - 4 dryer sheets in cabin, 5 in trunk, 2 underhood
Full wash & vacuum before storage
Fresh oil change last weekend

I still need to remove the negative cable from the battery and put steel wool up both exhaust pipes.

But will the garage door be kept closed the whole time? Thats the nice thing about where I park my car yeah the door gets opened and another vehicle is in there that has been in the snow and salt but its 3-4 car lengths away still. But maybe I'm just paranoid

That 3rd door won't be open. The garage is on an alley and the driveway from the garage to the alley is super steep at the 3rd stall, so there's no way the Marauder could ever make it out of the door without bottoming out. Typically, the Marauder sits across the 2nd and 3rd stalls, but I was able to use some wheel dollies to slide the car over into the 3rd stall.

Very nice indeed then

Looks snug there. Got into the mid 20s here this morning, ugh.

It peaked at 19* here!

How much Sta-Bil do you use for a full tank?

They look so small when they're snuggled under their blankies.

The wrinkles in the cover are bothering me. Maybe I'll run out there and iron it. :D
