Going on a 3 month trip to Australia in a couple of days. anyone have any tips on storing my g outside? any special things i have to do in general when storing a car for a long time?

 

One of those covers they have??

 

well, if you have the money you can put it on a storage. Or if you want to go cheaper buy a car cover that will cover the whole car and then buy tarp to put over the car cover. That will work best for out side.

 

Under a tree that drops a lot of sap.

 

definitely a car cover or put it in storage...I personally would put it in storage and pay someone to keep it in their driveway/lot

Also if you can try and get someone to turn the G on once in a while so your battery wont be shot when you come back. Also let the fluids run their course around the car as well.

 

^^ I heard sap is good on the paint

 

I've stored mine outdoors longer than that. Put some extra air in your tires so you don't flatspot them, hook up a battery tender to keep the battery from dying. A car cover is nice is to protect from sap and stuff, but if you have a clean place to park it, that's not necessary, though you will be stunned by the amount of dust.

 

public storage is only a dollar the first month. not sure how much it is after that

 

Johnny, a good carcover is over $200= I'd find a secure garage where you can store it for 90 days. Couldn't cost much more than the car cover....hopefully! G/L

3 months ..... go with storage company. Its more peace of mind. just disconnect the battery and your set. i couldnt stand to let my car sit outside for 3 months .

 

I'd have a tough time leaving my G outside for more than a couple days straight.

 

ask if you can park it in your parents garage!

 

storage is your best bet IMO

 

have a safe trip!

 

So what did you end up doing? is he gone? well, be safe and have fun.
