Preparation for Winter...

[SSTibet]

We keep our Vette inside our garrage - which is right next to the kitchen - all year round. The garrage has a radiator panel that keeps the place well well above freezing point. I have done no antifreeze addition and no tire pressure deflation for this winter. I take it out once or twice every couple weeks, drive it around and bring it back home. It is never kept outside for prolonged periods of time except when I drive it. Winter climate here in Ankara / Turkey is pretty much the same as Colarado, i.e. cold and dry. Subzero temps happen between November and March.

Should I get the antifreeze measured / added, tired deflated? Any ideas, recommendations???

Cheers,

Selim

There is a ton of good info on this page. I make sure that the antifreeze is set for the coldest protection possible, add fuel stabilizer and fill the tank, put on the battery tender and inflate the tires 5 pounds higher than normal.

I start mine every two weeks and will pull it out on the road if the pavement is dry.

Good luck,
