Winter Storage
I will be storing my 8 for the winter very soon. This is my first time storing so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas... I have a place to store it free outside (temps can reach -40 Celsius)... or I can pay 100-200/month to store in a heated garage. Should I absolutely opt for heated indoor parking or is there a safe way to store it outside for the next 5-6 months?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

It will be mostly fine as long as you occasionally wash it and drive it. Take the battery out or run a battery tender. Cover is not needed but if you park under a tree then sure.

Don't forget to be sure to keep the air on the recirculate mode, helps keeps mice out of your dash.

Mothballs in the engine compartment will help keep critters from crawling in there. Steel wool (brillo wad) on the exhaust will keep them from going in there too (don't want to find your cat has become a squirrel's nut stash)
Either keep the battery indoors where it won't freze or on a trickle charger on the car.
Clean the car before storage to help stave off corrosion.
Sta-bil and seafoam on the tank to ensure the fuel is good (and moisture-free
