What needs to be done in order to properly store my car? do i need to drain any fluids? or is it better to start it up every few days b/c it's older? (91Si) Any info would be great. I dont store it and find out in the spring that everything has seized up.

Did you see the "Wheels" section of the Star last Saturday?

There was a column on it. Here are a few things from memory:
1. change the oil
2. remove the battery
3. remove wheels/tires and mount on blocks/jack stands. If this is no possible, increase air pressure in your tires.
4. remove spark plugs, add some oil in the cylinders (about at tablespoonfull), hand tighten plugs and crank engine (without hooking up wires)
5. cover vehicle.

Personally, I did 1, from 3, I will increase air pressure in my tires and 5. I am storing a Trans Am and there is no way I can even get to the rear plugs. I plan on starting it up once every two weeks and drive it around my underground parking. This way, my battery won't die and I won't get "flat-spots" on my tires.
