Storing my G before the rainy season, couple question about other cars.

Hey guys I'm planning on putting my car in the garage for the winter. and I have a couple questions.

1. I changed my oil recently to mobil 1 full synthetic like last week or 2 weeks ago. I plan on having the car sit in the garage. Other then starting it up once a week and driving to the edge of the driveway (if there's no rain). What other things should I look at while the car sit stilli. I'm kinda worried the the tires will get messed up for sitting so long.

2. I'm going to wash the car wondering if I should polish / wax the before putting on the car cover. also what about interior, should i use a conditioner on the leather before putting it away.

3. Should i leave the tank of gas almost empty as well.

These are the things I've come up with for storing the car just wondering if you guy do anything else.

LAST but not least. I'm planning on getting another daily driver, and was probably going to get an old skool corolla. or mr2. I've heard about issue with mr2's is there anything I should be worried about if I get one of these cars, mainly the mr2 motorwise.

yeah don't leave your gas inside the tank too long, beside that wax, leather treatment is all good. Tires, I think is fine.

What do you mean "the rainy season"? Where do you live? If you are storing it for the winter (snow), I can understand that, but rain?

Some say store with as little gas in the tank as possible, others say store it full. Regardless, make sure you use a fuel stabilizer like Stabil.

Are you sure you on the right forum? Don't you have to be in Ferrari forum?

Storing G for rainy season.
We all know the car is sweet but it's not made out of sugar. It's metal my man and some of fantastic plastic mixed up in there as well, but mostly metal, So no worries it will last through all them rains.
