My rents may let me drive my brother's cutlass over the winter cuz he just bought a grand prix. But my celi would have to chill in the backyard all winter, which is fine. I'm thinking if I of course, put back on the stock wheels, add some fuel stablizer and get a car cover I should be fine. So does anyone know of a car cover for the 6gc? Or should I just use a tarp? Any suggestions would be great

I wouldn't use a tarp. They collect water easier which can ruin your car. I would get a nice cover and also consider putting it on blocks to keep the tires off the ground. You might want to consider an indoor storage facility for $40-$60 per month - depends on how nice the car is. I would also start it every two weeks to keep the battery charged and keep things operational.

empty out the gas tank since gas can go bad, unhook the battery terminals. this way you dont have to worry about starting the car.
if outdoor is your only choice get good cover craft car cover (keep in mind that they're $$$) |
