    my 91 Accord EX is my 'winter beater' and I am trying to decide whether
    to sell it now (drove it a lot this winter BUT out $$s into valves, etc)
    OR take it off the road (no insurance etc) for the summer - saving me
    about $500.

    Not driving it for a few months - what are the issues? Can I (for
    instance) put stabil into the fuel system and not do anything with it
    until November?

    Thoughts?

    thanx...

    I would leave comprehensive insurance coverage on it while you're not
    driving it. I would also put it up on jack stands and cover the tires with
    some small tarps (or parts of) to protect the tires from the effects of the
    sun. Adding fuel stabilizer would probably be a good idea, but, I would also
    start the car once a week, just to keep every working and putting it in gear
    to allow the drive train to work as well.
