That time of year

I think the concept of "winter" storage is over-obsessed by most people. Unless you are talking about "long-term" storage (years), there is not much that will go wrong with any car that gets driven to a completely warmed up state on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Three out of our five vehicles including a '71 New Yorker, a '74 Duster and a 2000 Ram 1500 have been like this for anywhere for 2-3 years now, no problems. I had a GMC Sonoma I just got rid of last year that was parked in an unheated garage near Pittsburgh PA for over four years (1988-2003) with absolutely NOTHING done to it, except for filling up the gas tank before it was parked and replacing the battery before I re-started it for the first time. No Sta-bil, no nothing. Drove it clear across the country to CO 4 days later, no problems. Keeping the battery charged and the gas tank full are the only things you need to worry about, especially if you live in a high-humidity climate.
