Default winterize and storage

I am a proud new owner of a 07 C6 and this is my first Corvette!!! Im sure Im like most of you and love my car. I do not plan on driving it in the winter. My dealer instructed me to leave the battery in with a trickel charge on it and that it is important to roll it or lift it so as not to damage the tires. I do not know what too do about the fuel, do I add stable or not? I was planning on starting it every few weeks and let it run for 15 min or so. It will be kept in a heated garage with a coverit. Any tips from the corvette oweners that store them would be wonderful and very helpful to me. Thanks Carl [&:]

Yes, use Stabil. Go for a short drive, to get the additive throughout the fuel system. Take the weight off the tires, but they don't have to be in the air. Leave a window cracked open a bit, so it won't hold humidity. I also recommend changing the oil and all filters. (fuel too)

And don't forget to go out and talk to her once in a while, so she does'nt get lonely.Oh ya, take her pic and let her know that you showed it to us, it'll make her feel loved,and that you'reproud of her.
