re: mice
I put my car away with the heat turned on high at shut off. This closes the openings on the heat exchangers and gives the little rodents one less place to nest.
FWIW, I agree and adhere to the above suggestions; change your oil/filter, add Stabil and take for one last good drive. Wash, wax, vacuum, treat leather and crack the windows open(sunroof if you have one) a bit to ventilate car. Where I live winters are extremely cold and very dry (<10% humidity) so moisture is not a problem. Inflate tires to 5lbs above normal driving pressures (resists flat spotting a bit and allows for some leakage over the winter) Pull the battery out and charge on the bench every month or two to keep charged and throw a nice soft cover over the car.
Visit and sit in it as much as you feel the need to over the winter
