storage question?

[special ed]

have car in building on concrete slab,going to put carpet under tires.What is the easiest way to hook up the little battery charger when the car is just sitting there.Also they said to start it once a month and move forward a little to allow gears to be covered in oil,when i start it how long and what temp. do i let it come up to?

Fresh oil change.Tires pumped up to at least 40 lbs.Plastic sheet over bare concrete.Run every 2 weeks for 20-30 minutes to blow off condensation.Sta-bil in the gas tank.Shouldn't need a trickle charge.Running it every 2 weeks keeps the battery up.I charge it once a month with a real battery charger.The hook up is under the hood.

I bought a remnant of carpet and put that under the car, plastic would do the same.

The jump points are L/S behind the front left tire, negative is to a ground stud underneath the positive which is clearly marked.

Skip the interior mothballs, put some under the car if rodents are an issue. Some say to lower the windows a fraction to allow some circulation and aboid the musty odor come spring.

I cycle my battey around once a week for a day and keep it topped up that way. Fire her up once a month and let it fully warm up, until the fan comes on personally. The rocking back and forth doesn't do much in my opinion as far as warming up fluids in the rear end, etc. Rowing thru the gearbox couldn't hurt.

Any other tidbits I'd like to hear from the snowed in crowd, this blows........
