Last time I opened the air cleaner cover, I noticed dry dog food and some nuts. Thank goodness the little bugger didn't try eating through the air cleaner. I'd hate to think what sucking a varmint in through the intake would do to the engine.

I can just picture it now - the little critter chewing his way in (or out) of the bubble!

 

The idea of mothballs sounds good. I would get a car cover that goes all the way to the ground, seal to the floor as much a possible then cover the floor under the car with mothballs(as well as in vehicle per above). The idea is to make as mothbally an atmosphere as possible. Check the car and the mothballs once and a while as the balls do evaporate.
You can also buy a battery maintainer(not just a charger). This device is great for long term storage as it electronically switches the charging current on an off only to keep the voltage up. It will not boil the liquid out of the battery. They can be found for $25-30 at Sears, K-Mart or a lot of other places(get one with LEDs and you can watch it for a while to verify operation).
Mice will eat some wiring(sulfur in it I think) in addition to build nests. Had one eat up a Honda tractor ignition cable once. That is why I suggest trying to enclose the vehicle.
Good luck.

 

Yeah, they always grind the gears going into 3rd. They can't seem to master double clutching.

 

NO, as xviper recommended you want to maintain fire & theft coverage.

My average monthly rate for the S2000 when driving is $63 and only $10 when the car's in storage. Also, some companies will let you take it out for a few hours during a nice winter day. I suspect the agent just makes a note that would only be submitted if you had an accident.

I'm familiar that antique car's can get really cheap rates based on the fact they are just weekend fun driver's. My MGA for example costs less than $200 year for stated value coverage. I'm not familiar with such coverage being available for new cars. If it is, I like to hear more.
