After having to redo the interior of my GTO after failure of moth balls, bounce sheets, and Irish Spring I can't afford not to put my car in a bag! That same winter mice also got into another of my stored cars and built a gigantic nest behind the master cylinder made up of a bunch of shredded dryer sheets and some kind of hair they found God knows where. Luckily they didn't damage anything and only made a stinky mess that wasn't too hard to clean up. They also got into a third stored car but only left huge piles of mouse poop on top of the intake manifold and front shock towers.

There is always a small chance that one of the little buggers will chew through the bag. But mice follow their noses and the smell of a polyethylene bag is not what they typically are attracted to. Also, when I bag up the car I try to keep the bottom as smooth as possible to eliminate any places where a mouse would want to build a house (outside of the bag) if one should happen to stumble upon it.

The other giant benefit of bagging the car is that since there is no condensation inside the bag, my polished aluminum parts don't corrode which means I don't have to spend hours polishing everything in spring.
