Easyway insurance in missisauga.

As for storage, I reccomend a climate controlled building - if possible. Dry rot isn’t a whole lot better than too much moisture.

Yea, I did, I knew I forgot to list something.  
I was torn for the longest time on what to do about that, cause some people recommended raising the car on jack stands, but I was worried about leaving the suspension hanging, so Iin the end, I decided the tires were the most acceptable risk. I did pump them up, but I don’t expect they’ll still be okay after that long of a storage period.

This thread is mucho’s old but my opinion just put your parents insurance on the car. By law the car needs to be insured but not insured by everyone who drives it. Atleast thats how it is in quebec
