Winter storage - what should be done?

[LR272]

Check out the Cair-O-Port car storage product. They are made in the U.K. but will ship to the U.S. in about 2 weeks. Exceptional product. I recommend an extra large for Mustangs. IMO they are much better than the bubbles since it doesn't touch the paint.

Hey folks, thanks for the suggestions. I'm not opposed to occasionally starting the car throughout the winter...you can monitor oil temp. Yeah, 10 quarts takes awhile to warm up, but it will warm up. Not hard to hold a 2000 RPM rev for a couple of minutes, either, to assist. These cars have powerful alternators (200A?) which will easily recharge the battery from what's lost during starting in 15 minutes time. Plus the OEM battery is pretty small and inexpensive to replace. I've heard differing opinions on oil change...leave the old oil over the winter, change in the spring, or vice versa. Seems the owner's manual says to do both. I like air booth cover.

I'm sure that's ideal. I never bought ramps, car is too low to just get underneath, plus it seems almost impossible to jack it up without modification, and it has snowed where I live several times already and the roads salted. No way is it going to a dealer for a change now.
