If you guys are not planning on driving your cars for at least 3 months,you might want to consider using fuel stabilizer.

I felt like that would be the best thing to do since I'm not going to be at home for a few months. If thats too much what do you recommend. I'm open to suggestions.

If you are putting the car away you should have left the old oil in it. You are going to have to change the oil once you get it out of storage and it won't be any better having new oil sitting in the oil pan. You are just wasting money on extra oil.

When I said I was putting mine in the shop, I meant my shop/garage. I am lucky enough to have a nice place to keep my car inside. I have worked very hard for this and I want to take extremly good care of it. If some of what I am doing to her this winter seems a little extreme, then I guess thats your opinion. But I take great pride in taking care of the things I work hard for.

I'm going to take care of my Mustang, baby it, wash it, clean it, and polish it. I'm also going to drive the snot out of it everyday no matter what the weather, all year round, 'cuz it's my car. When it loses its shine or starts rusting, I'll either restore it or just buy a new stang! Hopefully Ford will keep things going and continue to improve on our beloved model. Have you seen the threads on the possible new engines? The aftermarket will no doubt continue to offer cool stuff. I already can't wait for the next one!

Thats the thing alot of people don't understand about me, I would rather have my car than a ferrari or lambo. If I was given a ferrari I would sell it and buy a stang with every single thing I wanted for it, then save the rest. I drive a mustang because it's the car I love and I guarantee that I love my car more than most ferrari owners love theirs. I think it says more for the mustang that it is easily accesible and mass produced, and can be desired more than high end exotics by some people.
Of course I could be completely insane......but I don't think so
me neither.

I'm with Stoic21 and MY05GT as well.
I've had my '66 for seven years and it has never seen a drop of rain.
The '05 will be no different.
They both go in the stable on Octber 1st and come out on May 1.
I have used this storage procedure for 27 years.
I will be able to tell someone if I go to sell it, that is has never seen one drop of rain. Doesn't sit in the sun and was maintained to the highest level possible.

Winter forecast for Omaha today = 3 inches of snow
4 Dunlop M3 snow tires = $350
Driving your kick butt Mustang everyday no matter what the weather = PRICELESS
Yeah, I know rust blah salt blah rocks blah. I saw how disappointed Chip Foose was when he did that Mustang and it didn't have any rust on it, and I just couldn't do that to him.
In ten years we'll all be flying jet cars anyway
