My celica is sitting in my driveway, and will be in the garage for the winter. What could happen if it sits for too long? What can I do to mitigate the problems that come from this? Is there a way to properly store the car for long periods of time? I plan on storing it for a month to eight months. Thanks.

Seeing as how Im from Texas, I cant give you alot of winter specific information. But as for storing your vehicle- If possible, start and run the engine once a month until it reaches operating temperature, and leave the AC running full blast the whole time. If this isnt an option then purchase a can of engine fogger, it will coat the inside of your engine and protect it from atmospheric changes. Make sure to add Sta-Bil to the fuel, or you can park the car on a near empty tank and add fresh fuel at the end of the storage period. Of course a wash and hand wax before storage will be optimal, and a car cover over it during storage. The fogger, sta-bil and carcover(its only $30) are all available at the local autoparts store. |
