I routinely store 3-4 of my cars for up 4-5 months each winter (the salty roads around here in the winter really suck). I typically fill them up with gas, overinflate the tires by 5 psi or so, sometimes put a cover on them, and that's it. Never had any problems. If the roads are clear of precipitation and salt I'll occasionally take one out in the winter, sometimes that is every 2-3 weeks, sometimes every 2-3 months. Two and a half months is nothing for a new, modern car in storage. I wouldn't even bother disconnecting the battery or hooking it up to a tender unless you have an alarm or something else that draws a lot of current when the car is off.
