Now wait for the predictable response.

FYI: This is a post about storing your car somewhere.

I also might need to store my car for a month or so, and will look into public storage if I can't put it in my sister's garage (again).
Winner! Every time I store my car, I make sure that everything is full to the brim, as well as add some STABIL fuel stabilizer to the tank. I also remove my battery.

Oh, and make sure that you air your tires up near the max, as the air naturally depletes over time.

You could buy a set of tires/rims to put on them so you dont worry about yours goign bad. I have a set of messed up Motegi 17's you can have for like 30 bucks.

sure. lets race for pinks, mr. fastnfurious! then i can store that POS in my garage.

try a storage and get yourself some new wheels instead of depending on strangers to take care of your car.
