I picked up my boxster late this summer. I live in Minnesota… so, it’s time to put her to bed for the winter.

I have a nice heated indoor garage spot for her. It stays about 50 degrees in there.

The problem, it’s fairly humid in the winter.

Being honest, I’ve never had a car that I’ve been compelled to “take care of” like this one and I don’t want to mess it up. I drive it, it’s not a princess, so I’m not talking about over the top preparations… just common sense stuff.

I gave her a good bath. I’ve got a dust cover.

What else? I’m always fighting a musty smell in the interior anyway, and I don’t want to let that get worse… what do I do there?

Fuel additives? Full tank?

Battery tender?

Should I move it once a month or so to keep it from sitting on the same spot on the tires?

I’m sure there’s a thousand different opinions about what to do… just looking for some overall best practices. Thanks.
