For those of you that don't use your Tercels during the winter, what do you do to it before you garage it?

Full tank of gas with an additive to keep fuel fresh and remove moisture. Since I don't have a heated or dry space to store, I remove front rotors and replace with old rusty ones. I also put a canister of Dry-Z-Air in the car to prevent mold, and it works! You can also fog the engine before storage. Change the oil. Remove battery or keep it on a trickle charge.

The 4WD option is not only fun, but useful. Midwest snow and ice is one of the reasons I got my Tercel. Can't wait for a good 6 inch snow and some drifts to see how the car does. Plenty of good products to keep fuel good, Heet is the most popular around here. I'd pull the battery and store inside if there was going to be no use for three months or more.
