Put a sheet of plastic or a tarp down first. Then park on top of it. Alot of underbody rust comes from moisture in the ground. If you're going to have to get into it (since you get tons of snow too) I'd put a tarp or car cover on it so you can pull it off and not have water freezing in the door openings.

I stored my car one winter outside due to other stuff in the garage (years and years ago) and that's how I did it.

Thanks munster that's what i was planing on doing i just mowed down the spot so there not 4 ft of grass lol. what plastic did you use?

[munster]

Contractor plastic. like 10mil x 100' roll that we had at work.

Your biggest thing w/ parking outside is going to be rodents. I put repellent in the engine bay and interior.
