Greetings,
My son is heading off to college, leaving his car at home. I'm going to store it at a neighbor's house, parked outside. It won't be driven much at all for nine months, but I will be able to get over there a couple of times a month to start it up and drive it around a little, so it won't be completely idle.
This is an area with severe winters (very cold and snowy). Should I get a car cover for it? I've read differing opinions on that, with some saying that the risk of scratches and condensation makes that a bad idea.
Other than a wash & oil change, any other preparations I should make on the car?
Thanks in advance.
