Some of that seems to be the tried and true stuff that works.
Yep! I use a cover, trickle charger, and vapor barrier on the floor make sure the a/c is ran and then the heater.

So basically, I do what I've heard the majority say. I've also heard to use pickle plugs if not starting the engine all winter long.

Boy, what a thread...
trickle to the tail light wouldn't work unless the running lights were left on, but a trickle to the trunk light... Oh, forgot about the Body Control Module... Wonder what state it's in when the battery goes dead, A person could cut the top off with a hot saw... Messy... Jack it up and put skate boards under the tires... And oh, by the way, the first egg came from the easter bunny of course!

It's commonly used in small private airplanes when stored over the winter. They go in where the spark plug would go and obsorb moisture that enters the combustion chamber in order to avoid corrosion.

Commonly used to cap a pickle jar before the invention of screw on lids.

Are these kids really that friggin stupid? how do they get a license in the first place? good thing im not one of the troopers who do the drivers license tests.... id require everyone pass my "dumba$$" test before i even got in a car with them...
My girlfriend's daughter went through a carwash in the winter and the wash broke down half way through. It was so cold out all the doors and windows froze shut and she had to call AAA from her cell phone from inside the car. Not easy to keep a straight face...
