Moto Master Engine Storage Spray, available at Canadian Tire.

"Provides internal and external rust protection for combustion engines during periods of prolonged idle or storage."

Can be used through the carb, and/or through the spark plug holes.

Yes, fogging spray; a petroleum distillate.

I run them when I can in the winter. They need to get exercise too. I try to run both A's once a month weather permitting. Life is too short! Enjoy them, they probably both will out live me anyway and the kids aren't interested. They like their Toyotas.

The only thing im trying to fingure out for the winter is how to make a decent heater so i dont freese to death on my 25 mile drive when its 4 degress out when im driveing to work at 6 in the morning.

Per General Collin Powell (paraphrased) on Iraqi tanks hunkered down during DS1...

"Our jets keep their tanks buried and they are scared to start them up". "Leave a piece of machinery idle long enough and it won't run when you need it to run."

I think you should send your car down to me in the Sunny South for storage over the winter months. I'll see it's garaged each evening and regularly excerised to keep the demons out of her. She'll park right next to our '29 Briggs Leatherback so she won't be lonesome, and I promise our twin-11-year-olds will treat it as we do our Briggs. Besides, these cars like to have families in them...we can sure handle that.

Then...when you say so, we'll send her back up to Ontario...with a full tank of fuel, a freshly charged battery, and all clean an polished for your Summer enjoyment.

But...you must hurry...this is a one time offer that may be withdrawn wth no notice.

Will you promise that you will not do the "Rhumba" in it?

The original leather interior has become quite fragile and I don't think it would hold up to that kind of abuse.

Sorry...but I cannot make that promise.

I'm just a rhumba kinda guy, I guess...I refuse to change. But, I'll take good care of your car over the Winter months, nonetheless. Hell, I'll even disconnect the speedo so the miles I put on her won't show...I'll change the oil and keep her lubed, too. You'll get her back in as good, if not better condition than when I got her.

But...no...no promises on the rhumba thing....
