lets see.....the standard wash and wax, buy a car cover, defunkify your interior, oil change, over inflate your tires, leave a window cracked if it's being stored in a controlled temperature environment. you may want to disconnect your battery if you have an alarm so that your battery doesn't run completely out......um that's all i do, could be more. hope this helps

oh yeah, you could drain your fluids such as gas, coolant. etc. But i don't think it's necessary if you start your 2 every now and then.

fill your gas tank....add a fuel additive.....leave the window open a crack.....do not use hand brake (tends to freeze if its engaged-use a brick behind the tires instead)....i put some bounce dryer sheets inside the car to keep it from smelling stale....best is to pull the battery and put it inside the house so it doesn't freeze over the winter.....
