Great looking car.

What are the typical steps you take into storage?

Looks good brother

Mine is into storage next week. Too bad they're calling for rain all this week ... no time to enjoy our cars before the snow.

Storing your car with all the fluids will cause it to leak. You need to run the car atleats every month for about 10-15 mins atleast. Or you can drain all the fluids and store it. I dont know how many Porsche's come in our shop with 20,000 miles that have leakes (mainly oil leaks) because they never get driven, then again those are Porsche's not Acura's. Am i wrong?
