All tucked away for the winter with 30K on the odo. Good thing too cause its been pretty nasty here in Indiana so far. Will be the 1996 Civc till April

 

nice, what kind of car cover is that, am interested in getting one, something of good quality that wont scratch the paint.

 

Not sure to be honest. Was in the truck of the Civic when I bought it this summer. Fit the G like a glove lol

 

Just curious but does standing gas sit well for that long in the tank? Or even other fluids?

 

It should be fine until April, but I would recommend throwing a bottle of Stabil in the tank. It can't hurt, and is a good safety measure for only 5 bucks.

If you're looking for winter car storage tips, here's a bunch that I posted a few weeks ago. Should be a pretty extensive list... hope it helps:

The gas and fluid will be fine. I would be more concerned with his car sitting on concrete till April though. I would recommend having the wheels off the floor to avoid flat spot. Every year, I put mine on jacks on four corners and have the wheels completely off the car when I put my SL away for the winter.

And don't forget the trickle charger!!!

 

Hibernation... LOL pretty good

 

Civic is better than my winter car.. Hyundai Elantra 2003

 

did you cancel insurance for the G for 6 months?

 

When I saw the pic of your G in the garage my first though was...."Trophies above your car???? what if there's an earthquake?" Then I saw you were in Indiana.

In California, I never place anything above my car in the garage, all it takes is one 4.5 + earthquake to knock something off a shelf and on your hood.

The dealer in san diego had a nice car cover on sale for like 150 bucks, but it also had extra padding in the door area to prevent door dings.

 

i got the noah car cover. very nice and it was only like $160

 

i also live in indiana and we just got a whole lot of snow, we got about nine or ten inches. my winter car is a Lexus ES300 but i have to park it outside because my car is one spot and my parents get the other spots. But its worth it.

 

He might not be driving it but..

What if the car got stolen? lol.

 

there is a type of insurance that you can do that you pay hardly anything just to pay for it if something happend to it while it was sitting in the garage or if it got stollen but if you get caught driving it your screwed

 

Didn't cancel, just took it down to storage. My bank allows you to take full coverage off of the car if you want to store it. Many don't. Not worried about someone stealing my car while its locked in my garage and the keys are in a safety deposit box. Live in a nice subdivision also.

LOL yeah, if we have an earthquake there's something really wrong. Na, thats where my 1973 Charger that I restored ususally sits in the summer. Hence the Summit Racing stuff and trophies. Wife wanted a spot in the garage this year (can't blame her) so the Grand Cherokee and G sit inside, Civic outside, the the boat and Charger are in storage.
