Hi, All of the above are true and recommended, although just disconnetcing the battery should be sufficient, instead of completely removing it. If it were me I would put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels and tires to prevent flat spotting more than anything. Also by removing the tires you take the weight off of the springs so they don't hang under the weight, therefore removing them relaxes the suspension. Tying them up in black plastic bags is also a good idea and a cheap way to keep them clean and nice. I have heard others suggest placing cardboard in between the tires that are in a stack as well?

Hi, I am a new recent member and have been lurking here for a little while reading and surfing the site and learning everyday. This is an amazing site and I must say the tone of the posts are extremely helpful and adult, if you know what I mean. I am 35 years old, an absolute car nut and don't much care for the drifter, neon, Too Fast & Furious crowd. It's nice to finally find a Z website home to contribute to and enjoy. This is my first post which I hope will be of a benefit to the topic. I live in PA and coincidentally called today (Grundy) about a quote on a 1973 240Z I am in the process of buying. With a full tort policy, 100,000 liability, comprehensive and collisions with ZERO deductible, for an agreed value of $8,000, UNLIMITED mileage, without checking my record, which is clean anyway, is get this......$52 a YEAR! They did not even ask if I am married, children, is the car garaged, which is a yes to all three. Anyway, if your Z is not a daily driver, and is a collectible, even though there are unlimited pleasure miles allowed, it is generally understood that you are attending shows and driving on nice sunny days and keeping the car under a cover in the garage. I also got quotes on some other cars that I currently have classic plates on that I will be switching them over when the information arrives in the mail. Worth checking out, and you can get a free quote right at their website. Think this is too good to be true, go ahead and check it out for yourself. Todd
