I did this with my '05 the 1st year before knowing any better. When I brought it out of storage the exhaust smelled like rotten eggs. Which is a sign of something bad in the cats. It went away after a while but ever since I've NEVER done it again.

Must be nice to have a garage. I park outside, can't leave the hood popped.
Ron you're right, I thought the door was effed, had a hell of a time opening it....panic had set in & I thought the window was going to shatter. Phew, it opened eventually...lol!

I has to do with condensation building up within the exhaust. The pipes will warm up, then as they cool the water in the air will condence, then freeze (if your garage is not heated). Youre whole exhaust sytem will rot out in no time.

Hey Guys...if you put a cover on the Stang and then throw a poly over the cover, won't the poly trap any moisture between the cover & the poly ( during temp changes)..hence into the Stang?
I would sooner deal with a little dust and let the cover breathe so there is no moisture/rot to deal with.
BBYE

Any suggestions for longer term storage? I put my old Mustang in the back yard, covered him and put stabilizer in the fuel. Not sure when I'll be working on it, pretty much worn out, and a cracked bumper where we beat up a Kia. Had a hard time finding parts here in Northern BC.
