that's a good thing. you did not want to drive the Lieutenant during the winter, anyway.

even if the car will sit for the winter months, assuming you've done all normal maintenance: change oil at regular intervals, change trans fluid and rear fluid once a year, flush and refill with fresh fluid - radiator, check and replace as needed - belts and tires, check and replace wiper blades, etc., it's more advantageous to do this in the fall before you tuck it away for the winter. add a bottle of sta-bil, top off the radiator/overflow bottle with winter mix of antifreeze and check the tires for proper inflation. it's better if the weight of the car is on the suspension/tires than up in the air on stands (ramps are OK).

this is all of the advice i've been gathering during the many nasty winters i've survived in NJ and NH/VT. now the trick is to get to a warm climate where i don't have to store the car for the winter...
