How should we store our Chrysler Sebring for two months without a garage?
We have a 4-year-old Chrysler Sebring Coupe Cabrio. It is a little underpowered, but we like it. We are away for the whole of October and November and have no garage facilities. Is it advisable to get a cover for that period, and should you disconnect the battery?

Covering has disadvantages because the car can sweat. A properly tethered portable garage would be better, but tethering them is essential because they are vulnerable to being blown away by wind. If you can hook up the battery to a battery conditioning trickle charger, do that. If you can't, take the car for a long daytime run just before you go away to put the maximum charge in the battery.
