When do you put your 997 away for winter?

I park the car at the first snow and take it out when rain washes away the salt. I just check tire pressure, lock the car, crack the drivers window open and plug in my CTek battery charger. I get the annual oil change done when I start driving it again in spring.

My 997.2 4s is always on a trickle charger when i park in my garage.
I use the salt on the road and the amount of rain after to decide if a weather permitting winter drive is worth it.
Have never used a stabilizer and considering it this year.
Any suggestions?

I use Putoline fuel stabilizer in all my vehicles that are in winter storage – https://www.putoline.com/en/catalogu...abilizer/7241/

When you're ready for a little intro to what Winter is, take a trip up to Embarrass Minnesota in January.

Hey everyone. I am ready to take my 997.1 C4S out of storage. This will be my first time taking a 997.1 out of storage since I only got the car in July 2020. I did all the usual recommended things when I put the car into storage in early November. [over inflate tires, oil change, top up the tank add some fuel stabilizer, etc]I am curious if anyone has tips/checklist before driving the car. Do you do anything fancy like pulling the fuel pump fuse? I saw a
on your tube where this guy pulls his fuel pump fuse (@ 7:02 sec) and turns the engine for about 10 seconds first. then pops it back in and turns the car on normally. Is that a thing? I have never heard of needing to do anything like that.
Sunday is going to be a beautiful day here in Toronto and I am hoping to take it out for a spin.
Curious to hear what others here do.
This is my baby 2007 997.1 C4S 84,000KMs on the clock and many many more to come. Midnight-blue Metallic / Sand beige leather int.
