Hi all, I just purchased my first vette: 2014, Z51. Love it, unfortunately, the weather doesn't cooperate in Michigan. Waited 7 months for the car, and, drove for 5 days . I'm looking for advise as to how to best keep for the winter. My garage is insulated, but, not heated. I purchased a cover. I'm sure there are plenty with ideas, any would be appreciated. Is this the right place to ask this question? Thanks! RB

Welcome to the forum.


The best place to post your question would be in the C7 section of the forum. For long term storage, you should do a fresh oil change and filter change. You should also invest in a battery tender that maintains a float as opposed to over charging your battery. If possible you should take it out
and drive it once a month until it reaches operating temperatures. if you can't drive it once a month, then you should run it in the garage until it reaches operating temperatures and also move it slightly to prevent the tires from flat spotting.
