Winter advice
 
Plan on storing my 8 under a cover on a gravel parking pad for winter. Will this prevent rust or should I pay the 300 and store my rx8 for the winter? thanks

I'd pay to store it.

Depends on your location? You profile doesnt say where your are from. If you do tarp it be prepared to still rinse it off and dry it thoroughly and re tarp it a few times, and turn the axles.

garage is better.
maybe even build a roof over it so it doesnt get wet.

edit: ^ holy bump.

I'd store it. But if you leave it outside, make sure you use a proper car cover, and not a tarp or sheet of plastic.

Like others already said...garage or storage.

Thanks for your responses. Just ended up finding a garage on CL and throwing it in there. Leaving it outdoors may have caused too many problems.
