when I lived in wisconsin my friend did this to his vette:

Remove all 4 rims/tires and support the car w/ 6 jackstands...3 on each side. Take the rims and tires into the house and store in the basement. Laying them down flat, no stacking.

Add stabil to what ever gas is remaining

remove the battery and store inside the house, from time to time putting it on a battery charger to keep it fresh.

check levels of the anti-freeze and add antifreeze, not water if needed ( change in the spring time)

Put one half way opened box of arm and hammer baking soda some where in the car where it wont spill over...this will keep the car from getting a stale smell and will keep the car smelling like new if it still does.

No need to completely drop your insurance, you will end up paying a new premium when you reinstate it. Just talk w/ your insurance company and get " limited driving insurance " as you will not be driving in the cold and snow. It should be a very minimal cost for just 4 months or so.

Before restarting in the spring, change the oil out and the radiator fluid. Let the car warm up without any revving for 5-10 min. in the spring for 1st start up. Remember, the lifters need to pump back up full of oil and the oil needs to get itself circulated properly as it will have completely drained off everything in 4 months or so. It may be a little noisier than usual at 1st, but will smooth out and quiet down soon after warm up.
