Best Way To Put Your 8 Away For Winter?

Winter is almost on us and I'll be putting my baby away for the duration (about 4 months) any important details you guys can suggest to prepare her for it's hibernation. I don't want to put her on stands because I've been advised it could do more harm then good so I'll be resting her on cusioned pads so as not to get flat spots on tires. I'll also top up fuel tank to minimize moisture buildup. Of coarse the battery will be comming out and I was also told to stuff rags up exaust again to min. moisture issues. Because my garrage floor is concrete I will be laying out a huge tarp to park her on ( again moisture issue). Any thing else you guys can suggest that I may have missed. Thanks

This thread has some tips https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/proper-storage-procedure-92611/
You should also place some mouse traps in the garage. I don't even store my 8 and I still had some mice store SEEDS in my intake box.
