Just a few thoughts on storage, any idea how long it might be from assembly
to the actual sale of a new car, could be over a year. How about a new
engine, from assembly, to installation, to sale, could be 2 years, the same
can apply to transmissions and rear ends. Large commercial trucks (over 2
tons) are not actually manufactured by years, but, are titled in the year
they are sold, so it could sit for as much as 3 to 4 years before being
sold, yes these things happen. Have any idea how long that new car has been
on the dealers back lot before you bought it ? Did you know import trucks do
not come with a bed on them, big tax on imported trucks, but, they are not
trucks unless they have a bed, so a much smaller tax. Know why a Dodge
Caravan is classified as a truck and not a car, you got it, tax again. My
point is, this talk of what should and should not be done when cold weather
comes along is not all that important, especially only for the 3 to 4 months
most of us store them.  "FT"
