[QUOTE="Bdubbs, post: 13498626, member: 99175"] I too live in MN, op. This will be my 4th winter storing my cobra and haven't had any problems with how I store it. I usually put layers of carpet under the tires and crank up the tire pressure to atleast 40-45 psi. But I recently ordered the spendy race ramp flatstoppers. Otherwise it's what other members posted above. -full tank with stabil in it. -steel wool in tailpipes (helps keep critters from entering) -some baking soda inside the car -pull battery and put on battery tender -make sure car is washed and detailed -car cover -cardboard under car, this acts as a barrier between the concrete and your car And I NEVER start the car in the winter, I've let it sit for nearly 5 1/2 months until spring time. Condensation is bad, no reason to try and get it to operating temp when it's -20 degrees outside. Also when you plan on taking it out for the spring, the first time you start the car make sure you push both the clutch in and gas pedal to the floor at the same time! Then crank the car over like that for about 10 seconds. The ecu shuts off the fuel, but the motor cranks over, bringing oil through out the whole motor. [/QUOTE]
