ofcourse

 

I wouldn't do anything with your insurance policy. You can reduce mileage, but the only removeable coverages are comp and collision, so if someone runs into the garage where your parked car is, you have no coverage, if someone breaks in and vandalizies the car, you have no coverage. All your covered for is if you hit another driver, which the car isn't driving anyways. So why would you want to remove the only two coverages that may need to be used when a car is parked?

 

^^Yeah, and that putting-the-car-in-reverse thing may be trouble when it decides to leave your garage on its own

 

Every state is differnet, but in Minnesota we can put a storage insurance on the car. if anything happens to it while in the garage you are covered. It's kinda nice.

 

I don't really know to be honest. I'd rather put the weight on the frame of my car then on my suspension components.

 

cars are meant to be driven. so, why do you want to store away the g? its not like the g is a 500k car or anything.

 

^^^I have a winter beater that i'll be driving.
Winters here are pretty brutal. Lots of sand/salt on the streets to wear down the car.

Seeing how this winter goes, i might just slap on winters tires on the G and drive it next year all year. Having a race car in the winter is pretty savage though.

 

I have been looking this up too and from what I have read it appears you should jack up the car but from the axle joints so the supension is weigted. Reason being, suspension parts are not designed to hang but supprt weight. Jacking up the car (again from what I have read) is to prevent "flat" spots on the tires and has little to no bearing on anything else. I think this may be great if you were storing for a few years.

I will pump up the tires to 45PSI snd deflate them before driving. The battery leading to electrolysis kind of scares me... I want to take it out but am not sure if I will loose things stored in the seat memory, homelink or HD?

 

my plan is to store it in the garage for the winter. i plan to fire up the engine for a couple mins once or twice a week to keep it in shape. any comments?

 

^Yes, don't sit in the garage when the car is running

Really, you need to get it out and drive it and properly warm up everything and move the components. The engine really needs to be run up to full temp and not just started for a couple minutes and then shut down. This can cause excess moisture to be trapped in your exhaust and other areas and cause more harm than good. Just drive it around the block about 40 times while waving to your neighbors if you are scared to take it away from home too far

 

Do not start up our car, all you create in condensation inside the motor from heating and cooling it down. It's tough, but just remove your battery and let that baby sit all winter long.

 

You will lose your seat memory, I'm not sure about homelink. I'm 90% sure you will still lose that when your battery freezes and dies. You are much better off taking the battery out and bringing it inside.

I put my car on jacks, then use blocks to load my suspension so it's not just hanging there
