i`m going to put the snows on in case the beater breaks down, question do i have to put the car on stands.

 

for a weekend?

wtf?

 

It never ends.

 

i don't put my R on stands.....I just start it up and drive it around in my underground parking lot every 2-3 weeks

fill up the tank and add fuel stabilizer as well

 

Rj...I don't think he means he is storing for a weekend. I think he meant starting this weekend.

Make sure to start her up once in a while.

 

no i`ll be putting it away for the winter about, 5 months here in canada.and is gas tank stablizer a good idea

Yes. Not essential, but a good idea.

And there's no need to start it during the winter. You can just let it sit.

Just do something about the battery - either put a charger on it (the kind that monitors the charge and shuts off to prevent overcharging) or remove it and take it into the house.

Sta-Bil. Available at most automotive part centers.

 

Make sure your ebrake is off. You dont want to seize the line.

Within the past week there were just 2 threads about this. search!

 

I stored my R today

the good thing about this is that no more worries about thieves... or just maybe less worries...

It aint always easy owning a R!

 

I love the R in winter! With decent snow tires its quite fun to drive around with some inches on the ground.
