Glenn,

I did the same thing as you last year. I'll be doing it again this year

At the bare minimum;
-make sure the interior and exterior are clean
-disconnect the negative terminal on the battery. Many of us have had the battery fail over the winter if connected for longer than a week
-before you put the car away, put a fuel stabilizer in the tank when its low, then fill it up (use Sta-Bil). Drive the car around a bit so that the chemical is circulated in the system.
-Change the oil in the fall (there is debate on this)

I will post a huge list of other suggestions soon
