Good idea on disconnecting the battery but keeping it on a tender. I think I will do that.

I don't intend to put a cover on it, but my car will be kept in my garage. For the time being I intend to be back in July and intend to wash and wax it at that point.

Thanks for the tips! Keep em coming!

Also, any tips for when I fire it up again when I get back? My biggest worry is the fuel. I intend to fill the tank and add stabilizer. Should I just try to crank it?
Throw some octane booster in, fire er up and drive. The gas will be a bit stale even with stabilizer but that just means the ecu will have a little more work to do through that tank.
The longest one mine sat was just short of two years and it fired up second crank. Now mind you that was pre ecu days but still...
