Now that the 986S has become my garage queen, I am forced to store my 924S outside this winter. I have been starting the engine and running it about once every week or so, and have a car cover strapped onto it.

Any advice on storing the car outside this winter?

Thanks,
BC

Listen carefully to Paul if he has any input on this. . .he managed to change his black interior green over one winter.

Here's the fun that Paul had - http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=21704
-and another one on interior moisture+mold - http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=25486

Moral of the stories is "don't leave it sealed up tight for extended periods of time".

Yikes...I am thinking I should start moving the kid's bikes, and the other crap out of the garage and making room for the ol' girl...
