    So, how do you store your car ?

    Here's what I do with mine.

    1~wash and wax( cover with car cover) something breathable
    2~vacuum interior, 2 bounce sheets, 1 small bag of charcoal opened down the center & placed on a garbage bag in the back seat
    3~pump up tires to 40 PSI and place rubber matts under all 4
    4~ full tank of fuel and all fluids topped up (if needed)
    5~ battery tender
    6~ Several mouse traps around the perimeter of the car, baited with peanut butter and bird seed ( always seem to catch at least one)

    What's your tricks to keeping your ride, mouse free and fresh for the spring ?

    forgot to mention , only use plain charcoal briquettes, the ones that are "self starting " are impregnated with starter fluid and stink up the inside of your car !

    I like your style.
    Adding to that,
    -at my last fill up, dump a full can of SeaFoam in the tank n drive at least far enough to be sure it's in the entire fuel system.
    -battery disconnected
    -if oil is still well on the fresh side, store as is but if not change it n filter first.

    I also add a couple of bars of Irish Spring. Supposedly, mice don't like the smell.

    To keep mice away, I use moth balls. I chuck a bunch under the car.

    I park all 4 wheels on thick Styrofoam like the blue insulation stuff, it's 1" thick and stops the tires from flat spotting.

    Also do what everyone else said.
