[Healeys] Truth or Fiction in Car Storage

[Awgertoo at aol.com]

A lot depends on where we store our cars and what the surroundings are  
like.  Before we sold our farm I had a small unheated building in  which I kept 
my 100 for the winter--wrapped in a breathable cover to keep  out moisture, 
etc and I found definite evidence (droppings, chewed up  newspaper, etc) 
that the critters were definitely looking for warm places  to lay their heads 
for the winter, so I used mothballs, etc.
 
Now I have the luxury of keeping my car in a heated  garage without having 
to cover it, so  I do not plan to use  anything.  
 
BTW I live in MD and we have plenty of moderate  winter days here so I 
always try to take the car for a ride at least  once a month to get things 
warmed up, etc, just so long as the salt has been  washed off the streets from 
the last storm if any.
