I put car in garage, put cover on.  Come sprint I charge battery and start it.  That's it... I'm lazy.

Some years I put stabilizer in it, some years I did not.  Put some in for peace of mind.  Take battery out so you don't have to charge it in the spring.  Get the code for you radio first though!

Deal with one gummed carburator and you will always remember the stabilizer. This is worse on motorcycles and lawn equip. though and typically the pilot jet and sometimes sticking floats.

Again ethanol is the biggest culprit here.  A friend of mine is always tearing apart bike carbs from not riding frequently enough.  Use ethanol free gas if it sits for more than well... a few minutes.

I'd roll it back and forth every once and a while to avoid flat spotting the tires.

Gas stabilizer is good idea. That or have the tank all the way full or empty.

Tape up the exhaust pipe hole if there is any chance of mice getting to it.

Some people squirt some oil or fogging fluid down the spark plug holes.

trickle charge the battery once and a while.

Some cars after you yank the battery have an "anti theft" code you input into your radio so that it works again.  My Audi is like that.

Yes it does. The helpful S2000 forums explained the procedure to retrieve codes.
