Hmm. So why do I live in NY?
Born here. I'm at the tail end of a good career, and don't plan to stay here permanently. We have family here though, so we'll keep the house if we can.
Looking at western NC, great roads, people, climate. We live in the Hudson Valley with mountains around, so terrain is a must.
After 30 years of working outside, I'm done with NY winter.
Captain, as Stan said, there is no substitute for a heated garage. I have electric heat in mine, and took the time to insulate. It really makes the meter spin, but it's nice to turn it on and go work in comfort. I always have a project or three to do on the car over the winter.
All good points above: Stabil, fill the tank, dryer sheets, battery tender. I'll add that you can air the tires up to Max pressure, and/or roll the car periodically for flat spot prevention.
Don't start the car and idle. Worst thing to do to it. If you start it, DRIVE it, and get it good and hot before putting it away. Overheating is bad for an aircooled engine, just as well as not warming it all the way up. The engine and oil needs to get HOT enough to burn off impurities and moisture. If it doesn't all that moisture and acid starts to work on the engine internals.
I took mine out yesterday, and topped off the tank and put the Stabil in. Went to see my interior/top guy to see if my top can be modified to fit over the headrest fairing. Not bad with half-tonneau, butt-heaters and Webasto on full blast. Yup, the top can be made to fit. See, there's my winter project.
