Message I bought my 90 TT new and drove it for 2 months when I got my orders. The car has sat in storage in VA, GA and FL over the years.

I had to plan as if I would be gone for 12 months so before I put her away, I've always changed the oil and filter and topped off all fluids. I detail the car interior, exterior, engine and underbody and check tire pressure. I go heavy on the interior conditioner. I put a large piece of clean cardboard under the car to reveal any leaks when I return.

FWIW, I won't store the car again in GA because of the humidity. I actually had mold growing on my dash after 9 months. If I had to store it in a humid area, I'd lay down a tarp and drive onto it to keep moisture from under the car.

Last thing, I disconnect the battery and manually lock it. I leave a key with someone in case of emergency.

Last but not least - park the car where it won't get touched/damaged! Regardless of storage costs, I feel better knowing she's parked in dedicated storage.

This has served me well over the years as I've deployed.

Regards and Semper Fi
