How about you just stay here and teach English to all the people in our own country who could actually use the help, especially all the users on here who still can't seem to get it right. Theyz B talk'N Like dIs N' sHiZ yO.

 

Well I live in a house where it is always packed. So I'm pretty sure that it won't happen (knocks on wood). Yeah I was ask some one that I really trust but it seems like they don't really know how to drive a stick =(.

 

Well I could but I know alot of people who type in slang but when it comes to actually typing something very serious. Like a college paper they are one of the best writers I seen. Also, there is a saying don't judge a book by it covers. =)

Also, kids in rural city in Korea don't ever get to exposed to English so thats why I'm doing.

Also, it's for everyone who wants to do it.

if yall want more info pm or something.

on the other note. I got a oil change like a month and half ago. Should I still get my oil change?

 

Prepping The Vehicle

The cleaner the vehicle the better, and that goes beyond wash, wax and shine. Pick a warm, dry day to do the cleaning. Fill the gas tank, then add an adequate amount of gasoline stabilizer (also made for lawnmowers, snowblowers, etc.) to prevent gum and varnish formation. Drive the car long enough to really warm up the engine and mix the stabilizer with the fuel--at least 30 to 40 miles. Remove dirt from the underbody, particularly from the wheel wells. Dirt holds moisture, and the combination of moisture and air causes iron and steel to rust.

Really, really clean the interior and trunk of the vehicle with a household vacuum cleaner, using those little attachments that reach into nooks and crannies. The battery-powered car vacuum just doesn't have the suction. The object is to remove all pizza crusts, jellybeans, dog biscuits--anything that could nourish a critter.

 

Indoor Storage

Allow the car to air-dry. If the garage or shed has a concrete or earth floor, create a floor vapor barrier with plastic sheeting or tarps. With an earth floor, make a drive-along "path" from strips cut from a sheet of plywood and place them over the vapor barrier.

Remove the spark plugs and spray some oil into the cylinders to prevent rust and corrosion. You can use conventional engine oil with a spray-type squirt can or aerosol fogging oil designed for boat storage. Turn the crankshaft (with a socket and ratchet wrench on the crank pulley bolt) about four to six times to circulate the oil. Reinstall the spark plugs and reconnect the plug wires.

Disconnect the battery cables (ground cable first) and remove the battery. Clean the top and sides of the battery to remove any moisture-retaining, conductive film. Place it on a clean, dry surface such as blocks of wood or a polystyrene spacer. Connect a float charger, one designed to maintain a battery charge for long periods. Removing the battery also gives you the chance to inspect the battery box for any corrosion, and to clean it out.

Lubricate the hood release latch, hood and door hinges to protect them from moisture. Brake fluid absorbs moisture, which can cause rust and corrosion in the brake system. Flush the old fluid with new. Long-term storage may call for nonhygroscopic (not moisture-absorbing) silicone fluid. Check the freeze point of the engine coolant with a hydrometer to make sure it's low enough for the ambient temperatures.

Protection from rodents and other critters is important. They not only chew on spark plug wires and other wires, but they can crawl into openings and set up residence. Stuff thick, clean rags into the tailpipe, engine air intake and the fresh air intake in front of the windshield, unless it's covered by mesh (or a cabin air filter). If you know you have mice in the area that may enjoy making nesting material out of your cloth rags, use aluminum foil instead.

If the vehicle is to be left for six months or longer, the issue of flat-spotting the tires is worth considering. Prevention is straightforward if you have a set of four jackstands. Jack up each end of the vehicle so that it's high enough to slip a jackstand, in the lowest position, under each lower arm. Jackstands will eventually sink into dirt floors--use plywood squares under them.

Stuff clean rags between the wiper arms and windshield to hold the blades off the glass (or remove the blades). This will keep them from sticking to the glass, which could both leave marks and ruin the rubber. Apply a film of rubber lubricant to the squeegees.

Empty a large container of mothballs on the floor all around and under the vehicle to discourage critters.

 

burn the car get the insurance money, better yet have someone you trust burn it for you while your in korea you'll have a good alibi. I am just kidding btw. sell the car!

but seriously, you dont know anyone that can take care of it for you.

i would suggest teaching someone how to drive standard in ur family and problem is solved.

 

There has to be someone, a friend or relative or workmates, that knows how to drive that can drive it around for 15 minutes once or twice a month! Pay them if you have to. Maybe even someone on the forum who lives nearby would help you out. If you simply can't find anyone, I'd have it professionally long term stored. DO NOT leave that car parked outside for a year!

 

just teach a family member how to drive it...... like going around the block.... things like that......

 

Acutally I found some one who can drive a stick but not every well. I asked them if they could drive my car around the block and I am going to have my car stored in my garage at home. I never park my car outside.

Yeah I was going to but I only have a young sister and she doesn't like driving a stick. =(.


Also, guys wish me luck for as I got out to teach oversea's for a year =).

 

just start up the car, and have someone push the car around the block if they cant drive stick im sure that will get the transfluid moving slowly too haha

 

good luck with everything, u should ask her to at least give it a try for you

 

Be sure they drive it at lest 15 minutes or so to make sure it gets up to full operating temperature. At a minimum every month or so, I'd recommend every 2 weeks.

 

Don't you need car where you are going. I am sure they have good local transportation, but can't you have it shipped to where you going.
Also you can probably sell your car there much more than you can sell here.

 

Thanks for the good wishes.


Well I would ship my car there if it wasnt expensive and in Asia they charge you by the liter and not gallon and if you convert the liter into gallon its almost like $6 for a gallon of gas which is crazy expensive and the local transportation is setup good in korea. The buses come every 10 minutes.
