that is a rediculous list for storing a car for a few months. put some gas in it and give it a wash if you want. then park it for the winter. nothing will happen to it. if you have a mice problem, then kill them before you park your car there.

The best advice for storage is to drive it regularly.

Cold does not hurt an s2k. Just dont drive once the salt hits the roads.

Even after the salt hits, after there is a rain, drive it. Absolute best thing for it.

I know many of you take the insurance off the s2000 in the winter, do you save a lot of money doing so? If I took the insurance off the s2000, I would pay more for insurance as I have 2 cars under my policy.

In the winter, I keep the car in the garage and take it out every so often around my area. As long as there no salt, I drive it to get all the parts moving.

I'm saving over $1000 by removing the insurance for the few months of winter.
