Car is asleep for the winter season.
Sitting on winter tires on steel rims, coolant mix beefed up with antifreeze to resist very cold temps, oil changed, battery removed and stored indoors, fuel stabilizer added to a full tank of gas, documents and stealables removed from car...
...I still need to add a little more antifreeze to the mix before January megafreeze begins. Also, crack the windows slightly to relieve pressure on seals, put some charcoal briquettes and odor removed in the car to fight humidity and mold, and pull the spark plugs and put some oil down the cylinders. I also might put some oil to coat the brake discs to prevent rust.
The spring checklist would involve dumping a bottle of water remover into the gas tank, and cleaning off the discs with a lot of brake cleaner before driving.
I miss that car already, but its retired from winter service, having already put in enough miles on that front.
