Hey, I want to store my car for the winter and I don't really know how to do so. So I am asking people who store for the winter season for help, suggestions and anything else. I searched google but I haven't found anybody with Z cars (It shouldn't be any different than any other car but, a Z is special). I have a garage with room and enough to do move freely around. Thank you!

everyone takes a different approach and you can get totaly anal aobut ti with inflated bags you drive into!

put the car on jack stands with the stands laced so the suspension can droop, let the air out of the tires, put a bit of oil into each spark plug hole, place desicant or damp rid inside the car interior

me, I park mine int he garage and might start them up ionce int he middle of winter otherwise they sit untill the first chance to get them out again
