I bought my first mustang this year, a 2004 GT, and it is time to put it away for the winter. What steps do I need to take if my car will be in storage from November to April. Any help would be appreciated.

The biggest problem, is mice.  Whatever you can do to keep these buggers from chewing thru wires, leaving residue that catches on fire (my boss just had this w/ his old Cadillac Allante).

Second, if you were actually going to let it sit for more than a few months, would be to jack it up, so the lug nut holes don't lengthen, nor the tires flat spot. But I don't think you're gonna run into that problem.

Fill up the gas tank, to keep the condensation down.  In the old days, you'd go crank her over once or twice a month, but hopefully someone knows the routine for the new stuff.  

What did your manual say?
