I stored my GT3 in my shop at my vacation home last winter. I was told to use electronic rat traps, use bait, open the trunk and deck lid, and keep the area well lit as rodents want a dark place to burrow. I also made a jig that would block the entrance to the the exhaust. Worked.

I have never had rodents in my garage. I keep it as clean as my Wife does the kitchen
I am surprised to here all these rodent issues |

People are worried about mice, and then load up their GT3s with Alcantara. I don't get it.:)

Sell the car when the weather gets bad.
Buy a new one in Spring. No reason to hassle with all that storage stuff. |

I thought you were joining us in Arizona this winter?
It has been really cold and we have had to stop wearing short pants recently - the struggle is real!

Okay- Need some advise
Car is covered and on a trickle charger for say 3 months. In the past; every 4 to 6 weeks I would warm the car up and take around the block before putting her to sleep for another 4 to 6 weeks. Is this worth it/more harmful to start her up and rotate tires?? How long can she sit in one spot before tires develop dead spots? I did not over inflate before putting her to sleep but had Dealer pump about 3 psi extra in each tire. Appreciate advice

Don't do it! You can safely enjoy throughout most winters, albeit less than the warm months.

It’s the soy based harnesses and lines that attract mice, VW had a lawsuit a few years ago in Europe. |

LOL. 2 reasons. One, it's the baby, so baby it. Two. what else is there to do in the dead of northeast winter?
Anyway, to your point, car will be fine 3-4 months with no winter prep other than trickle charger. Flat spots will go away within a few miles of driving. Fuel stabilizers are for gasoline stored for many many months, not 3. I bought my very first 911 back in 2002. It had an indoor dust cover, parked in my heated attached garage. I even bought tire cradles, silly me. It was fun to do what I now know to be silly things for "the baby". So, let the others have their fun, too :D Anyway, anyone want tire cradles? Supposedly guaranteed 100% to prevent flat spots, probably. How about an indoor car cover? May smell of mothballs since it has been stored since 2003. Free!! Just shipping and handling. :) |

I have enough garage space to periodically push the car to a different spot to avoid getting flat spots on the tires. Fresh oil and battery tender hooked up too. Also periodically exercise the battery by running the lights for a short period of time then return the battery tender to service. |
