lol, i was gonna say man up and drive it in the winter. Im only kidding, if i could bare to be away from my car for 4-5months, i would buy a cheap winter car...but to be honest, i couldnt do it. ive been that way with all my cars.
Anyways, either put it on blocks like mentioned before, or at the very least put the tire pressure up to the max listed on the tires. everything mentioned, trickle charger and full tank + stabilizer are all things you definitly need to do to preserve your car so you can hop in and drive next season without worry.

you put the blocks under the frame, not under the tires. Think jackstands.
Put some fabric softener sheets in the car too. the smell can keep small critters away, and your car will smell fresh in the spring.

you dont have to put it on blocks if you leave it in neutral and just roll it a few inches around every few days, provided your room is big enough. Just a suggestion if you're too lazy to get blocks, and dont mind knowing that in the long run, your laziness will cause you to do MORE work, thus defeating the purpose of being lazy, and sucking you into a black hole due to your hypocracy. that is of course, assuming your hooker is african american.

Do you have a loan on this car? If you do it does not matter if you store it for the winter it still has to be insured. I tried doing this back in 95 with my new Monte Carlo. I put storage insurance on it and put it in my garage 60 miles away and a few days later I got a call from the bank asking what was going on. I told them it was stored for the winter and wouldn't be driving it until spring. They said it didn't matter. I argued that I do it on my Harley's every winter. They said its different on recreational vehicles. I ended up storing it for the winter and paying full coverage.

^^^ wondering the same thing... of course, I've never lived in a climate cold enough that you had to put a sports car away for the winter, so I don't anything about it.
Heck, around here, still gets gets cold, but you'll get some nice days to drop top on a convertible in December and January. I don't know how you people stand it. I wouldn't live there if I had the choice.

Car payments and the car being insured are two different things. Your still making your car payments , I hope. I have State Farm , you should call your agent and check.
