storing the max for the winter

hey guys,

Winter is coming and ive gotta do something with the max for a few months. Im at college in boston and we cant have cars here so my car is sitting in the driveway. My parents start it and drive it around the block like once a week but during the winter i wanna try to keep it off the roads. Im gonna put my stock wheels back on when i go home for thanksgiving, give it a good wash and wax, check fluids and change the oil, and buy a nissan car cover. Is there anything else i should do since it wont be driven pretty much at all the whole winter and its sitting outside?? Thanks guys.

don't forget not to fill up the tanks... don't leave the gas in the tank for toooo long... make sure your parents drive it enough to fully warm up the cars and lub everything.... and make sure you take EVERYTHING off/out of your cars.. so in case it's been sitting on your driveway for a week.. and some lowlife decided to break into it or seomthing... good luck

I'm not sure what else you could do to the car but I do know you should slap yourself around alittle bit for leaving such a fine piece of machinery sitting in a driveway for three months.

Re: storing the max for the winter

I think the best thing you can do to the maxima is let me warm it up for you and I promise to take care of it while you're away.
Otherwise, I'd say buy a HUGE box and store the whip. Hope you get along with all the neighbors
