thats it....isnt it bad for the motor if there is no oil circulation?It will be just fine. Cmk has the right idea.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

I don't put a cover on it, and wouldn't unless it is high quality with good air flow, moisture can get trapped between the fabric and paint and other problems. I have never covered my cars, but i always use a clean garage. Yes stabil the red stuff, and fill the tank or moisture will be in the air inside it and rust your tank.

in the past i've stored the car in a friends barn. stabil, disconnect battery, apply car cover are all things I do. In addition, i stuff dryer sheets all over the car (interior and underhood) as apparently Mice hate the smell and won't go near a car. Otherwise Mice and other critters will figure your car is a pretty good place to setup shop for the winter. Debugging a wiring harness fault due to rodent activity is awful.

I fill the tank full and add the stabil stuff. You fill it full to keep the condensation down. I also change the tires for my shitty tires. I have the time to do this so it keeps the weather from cracking my summer tires. Thats just me though.

well thanks guys for all your input, i think i can finally do it, is it save to leave the aftermarket wheels i have on or should i put the stocks back on? anyone else has any suggestions feel free to let me knowHow are aftermarket wheels different than stock wheels as far as the car simply sitting on them?

park it on jack stands and have any sort of rodent repelant in/around the car.

Flat spotting the tires? I don't know, just something I read.That used to be a problem with bias ply tires, but with radials any flat spot that might occur will be gone by the time you are around the block. Remember, parking a car for winter is only 5 or 6 months, not years.
