Need advice. I cannot store my Celica inside this winter. I have not driven it for 3 months as well. I want to keep it long term, but don't know what I should do for upkeep it. The rust will probably get worse which is fine but I don't know if I should overinflate the tires and disconnect the battery or do nothing. Any advice is appreciated. I want to consider getting cheap indoor storage as well. Thanks!

Once a month you should start the engine, turn the A/C on full blast and allow the engine to reach operating temperature.

That will still puddle water in the exhaust and pollute the PCV system with moisture. If you're not going to drive it, don't run the engine. -------------------- |
