Winter storage over carpeting
Does anyone, or has anyone in the past, stored their car for the winter over a sheet of indoor/outdoor carpet? In addition to looking nice under the car, I think this will limit any moisture coming up through the concrete. I'd like to know what others think or have learned from experience. Thanks!

From my experience of long term storage of vehicles, carpet is absolutely fine.
As you are most probably aware though, it acts like a sponge with water, so it is important to 'seal' the concrete or whatever is beneath it first, then lay the carpet on top.
Don't forget to pump the tyres (tires) up to 50psi as well, and more importantly deflate them back to normal pressure before going out for a spin!

My memory is that the P-Zero is labeled for a max pressure of 51psi. (Couldn't find this on the Pirelli website, of course.) So I put 40psi in mine for storage. No flat spots last year.
