winterizing
Normally( 2yrs) i just put my Sc on a trickle charger and lock her up(oh my, does that sound familiar- especially at this time of year) until the spring. I've been busy these few weeks and haven't got around to pulling out my car until this weekend. I would say it's been about6-9 weeks since i last drove it but i did manage to get 'er out yesterday. I had a funeral to attend and the whole way there i had vibration through the steering wheel. I thought %^&*() I don't need this right now. After the funeral i took it back home on the same route and vibration was almost gone. So i attributed this vibration to having the car sit so long in the garage -during the hot weather-on all fours and creating a 'flat spot' on the bottoms. As i said by the time the tires had some mileage on them everything seemed to be fine BUT this got me to thing about storing over the winter. Should i put it on blocks and take the weight off the tires?How should a block it since there is very little clearance?
I guess i'm looking for tips/ideas.

Ideally one would store a vehicle on blocks, but if one is able to work out the flat spots via driving, it's no big. Some brands/models of tires are more prone to flat spots than others. Tire age is also a factor and more likely an issue with vehicles not driven regularly.
