IMHO, I think it's a bad move to jack any car up for storage.
Jacks don't roll very well. If you had to get you car out of the
garage in a hurry... Like in a fire or flood, you're screwed...
Besides even here in the snow-bound wilds of Illinois... (Buckle
of the Rust Belt), I can still find a few decent days to drive my
TR. It's especially fun on New Years Day to drive around top down.
BTW, It WAS Janet Guthrie who was the first woman to drive at
Indy. She also tried to break in to NASCAR but them good ol' boys
were less "welcoming".

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
