Re: [T3] winter storage


I've always heard mothballs are the way to go. I've got a pie tin full
of mothballs inside the car, and they should last quite a while. The
car smells like mothballs should you go even near it. Open the door,
and hoo-ey! That's napthalene, baby! Can't imagine any critter would
like that.
