What did you do to your S2000 today?

Just getting my stuff together to put it away. It takes me a good few hours to prep it for storage but at least I got to drive it later than ever this year due to warm temps. That's over, so it is time for the long wait until my next drive.

I think it's time for me to accept that Honda is no longer interested and the S2000 is now owned by the enthusiast community. I know, I'm a slow learner. If a dealership service record didn't mean anything to future buyers I don't think I'd come back here again. I made sure they at least used the correct oil filter.

It doesn't get below freezing here much over the winter -- I'd say December lows are typically ~5C / 40F -- and car is in a non-heated garage year-round. So as far as actually "winterizing" it, I don't think I'll need to do anything... but I'm curious about what others typically do.

What kind of stuff do you do in prep for storage? I got mine just this summer, so this will be the first time I need to think about this.

-Pump tires to max pressure to keep from flat spotting.
-Change engine oil.
-Un-latch top
-Keep e-brake down and put trans into reverse.
If in an area with wildlife: Stuff rags in exhaust pipe and intake box. Lay "Bounce" sheets around and in car, apparently they keep rodents away.

Took it into the local dealership for a roadworthy and service, I'm sitting in their customer lounge at the moent. Had an almost-fight with the service manager about the rear axle nut issue. Tried in vain to convince him @Billman250 knows what he's talking about but the guy was even older than me so I got no traction with him.
