Subject: Looking for advice on storage

I've been quietly enjoying browsing this list for the last few months.
Thanks to Harvin, Jack M., Jeannie, Al S., Mike Simmons, and all of you
Miateers who have made this informative and enjoyable.

Up here in Minnesota, winter will soon be upon us.  I'm planning to store
my Miata in my unheated garage until spring (usually arrives here about
mid-June, but I hope I can get the Miata back on the road before then :-)).

Anyway, I'd like to have advice from any of you who have stored your cars
over the winter; or even if you haven't done that, any helpful advice you
can offer will be appreciated.

I'm planning to wash and wax the car just before storage, and to cover it.
I'll probably drip a little oil into the cylinders, and take out the
battery.  What else should I consider?  Any good way to keep the brake
rotors from rusting?
