And get it off the tires, or they'll flat spot. So put it on blocks. In your gas, use an additive to keep it fresh (available at any mechanical shop). Keep a full tank, since you'll get less condensation that way.

Just out of curiosity, where are you storing it? I was looking at storing a summer car over the winter and was wondering what kind of rates people pay if it slumbers elsewhere.
