Darn! I was just thinking that the dryer sheet trick sounded like a good idea. I have used mothballs in my cars for 20 years to keep the mice out and have never had any mouse damage. I live on a farm and stored my cars in a barn until having a garage built last year. The downside to this is that your car smells like mothballs inside. Just about the time that the smell is gone it is time to put the car in winter storage again. Given a choice, I will take the mothball smell over chewed wires and upholstery.

I always found the easiest thing was not to store it and just keep drivin' it. Seldom are the roads salty/cindered/sloppy for more than a week or 2 in a row, in east PA anyway. Then there are often plenty of days to get the goat out and keep the oil circulating, the gaskets wet, the gas fresh and the car rust/salt-free. Of course if there is carp on the road she stays tucked away, but as soon as they're clean she's out. Love the way she runs when she's gulping 10 and 20 degree air off the top of the hood! I know the vast majority of you guys store your cars and that that is the ideal, but I just don't know how you do it! I start jonesing after 3 days and I am down right aweful to be around if the goat has been garage bound for 7 or more days! So, to you guys with the willpower to tuck your babies away for ALL that time..CHEERS TO YOU!! . As for me, I can't wait for you guys to rejoin me on the roads when you bring your babies out of hibernation! See ya in Spring!!
