Well I have no reason to park mine for the winter, I live in sunny Florida. The only seasons we have are when it's hot and rainy, and when it's hot and dry.
However, the sun can do some damage to a car as well.
Luckily, I park indoors at work.

Love it!

Mine get's winterized and stored in my Dad's garage and won't come out until early May - I can save 6 months of car insurance. I used to unhook the battery but last Christmas I got an awesome battery charger that on top of charges the battery, it conditions/desulfurizers it. My battery has to be at least 7 years old and still going strong! (My original battery leaked and got replaced under warranty).

Yes Amy! Mine does the same thing! I love it.

Here's my baby the day I put him in storage!

My parents always thought it was funny because I would go turn the radio on and have the heated seat on in my car and just sit there. It was so relaxing I would often fall asleep and wake up and realised I killed the battery. lol


Since I don't have a Monte I don't store it obviously. lol. If I had one I might store it depending on the condition it is in. My car doesn't see storage but does get a garage everynight so that helps morning startups!

The weather here, is always very good, so there is no need for storage, it can be daily driven year round. I don't think I will be able to part from it for a short period of time.
