Ken glad u sold ur racestoppers. I have stored my toy cars in the winters for the past 9 years by doing nothing except a simple oil change before storage. Then once the first snow hits, she just stays parked. Gets started once or twice a month then rolled around in garage. No flat spots in tires or any need for fuel stabil. Is fuel stabil even necessary? Oh also she gets trickle charged all winter.

Z wise today, drove her then will get her prepped for tomorrows last big car show for the season.
yah, i too been kinda in and out from this forum now that im kinda starting to wrap up for the season. spending a lot of time in my music room. i pressured up the spares on both the Z and G yesterday and did all 5 tires on the Fit as well.

Flatstoppers, if you have a set, is very convenient. it's nice to know that the tires are off the cold concrete during the winter too. it's a 'place the car on them and forget about it' deal. i dont start the car at all once in hibernation cause it will introduce steam inside the midpipes, oil temps dont get that high, premature cycling of the a/c, etc. i use to start the car and move it around in my garage, etc long time ago but it's too much hassle and introduce more bad than good.

as for stabil. i dont use it. my hibernation isn't really that long. 3months average, 3.5months max. i suppose if you must park the car for a long time like over 6months i would consider using it.
