I disagree , you are only putting it away for the winter months. Just get a very very good car cover that will be rainproof, keep the battery connected, keep the tank full, (you dont want the lines freezing), and just start the car every so often. You will get a decent day once in a while to go for a ride just to keep the car moving. Shes your baby so you will want to drive her occasionally. The best thing for the car is the car cover. Dont be cheap about it. The good ones can run up to $300 and they do the job and last a few years as well.
One more thing, make sure you have the antifreeze checked so the block wont crack on you. Have it tested to -30 degrees.
good luck

I personally do the same thing,and I just winterize it by changing the coolant,and I put my tires in the garage,or shed.I put some crappy tires and rims on every winter to assure not ruining my good ones.I start my car once a week until winter is over.Be sure to put a good hard wax on everything possible to prevent rusting.I have a Dodge Viper,and it has been good so far doing it this way.Also,I do put a cover on it that is custom fitted.

get a custom fit car cover. make sure to empty the gas tank. disconnecting the battery won't do much. if you do, make sure to take it out of the car and place it up high on a shelf somewhere, don't just leave it on the ground. when it is time to start driving again, change the oil and coolant and add enough gas to get you to a gas station. also make sure your tires aren't cracked and that they are properly inflated. if your driveway is at an angle, place a brick or something behind the rear tires so it doesn't roll in case it comes out of gear or the e-brake cable gives out.

Jeep isnt a foul selection. Subaru WRX is okay too yet in basic terms verify that the previous proprietor didnt "race its heart out" (or force it to dying) by way of fact the WRX is a properly-cherished racer automobile and those people force confusing and quickly (which takes a extensive toll on the automobile) I wouldnt get the WRX by way of fact of what others could use it for (i dont prefer a automobile with a ton of issues in a quick time by way of fact it have been given a solid beating from the previous proprietor's driving sort) evaluate finding on the Infiniti G35x and small or midsized SUVs.

yes custom cover, no empty gas tank,on your last fill up put in a storage/preservative additive. if your in a severely cold climate disconnect the battery and store inside,new coolant and oil before her winter nap (5w 30 will not need to be changed immediately after hibernation)monthly run the engine 10 min. and wax like the viper guy said i wouldn't worry about the tires
