Hibernation Time -- Quick Q's

Wash and wax the Z. Drive into the garage. Put on the battery tender. Suspend insurance. Cover with bed sheets. Start on winter project. Remove sheets as needed. My garage is in my basement. So it's 68F to 70F year round.

I do most of what is in this thread, except I put in more than 40psi. Living in a colder climate area, I put in at least 45psi (max is like 51 I think). Figure, you lose 1 psi for every 10 degree temp drop and lose 1 psi about every month.. Going with only 40, I'd probably be back to normal 35psi by January with at least 3 more months of storage remaining..
Probably doesn't make much of a difference anyways.. just throwing it out there.
I think it was mentioned to fill the tank with gas (+ Stabil).. filling is also supposed to help in reducing the amount of air exposure to the fuel..
