Default License Suspended..

Well, my license is suspended and i'm going to store my car at a interior parking center for 3 months.
Are they anything I should be aware of expect un-plugging the battery and reducing the weight on the tires by using a jack-lift and some bricks? lolll

Sad.... sadd.... day...

Cought speeding in another country.
I live in Canada and was cought speeding in the USA and I lost points...

I left it in a interior parking storage because it's really cold here (below 15 D. celcius).. which I've been told is really bad on long period parked cars.
and dam... my tank was half empty [or half-full :P]..
What's "tbody aliment"??

yeah if you leave the tank half full w/o stabilizer your gas will start to turn to varnish in the lines, thats bad news bears. the radio code and TBA is no big deal as long as you have the radio code. Are you gonna have access to the car at all while its in there? I might take someone with you, fill the tank up, add some Stabil, maybe go once a month and start it?

For 3 months, I'd just add 1 bottle of fuel additive, plug it in (Canucks and Alaskans know what I mean), and walk away. By the time you're ready to drive again, it'll be break-up or warmer, and if you need a jump to start it, drive it right to where ever you're going to get a new battery.
Not putting the car through the constant warm-up and cool down by starting it at minus 20 and below will actually save wear and tear.
