Drakelee117 · 04-16-2015, 12:38 AM

I have to fly back to my hometown in China for two months give or take a couple of weeks, and I will have to leave my less than 1K miles BRZ in the Sunny Florida for the summer. After that, I will have to drive all the way from Florida to California for college. Is there anything I should be careful about when I leave the car?

I might have to leave it under Sunshine (with cover) but I am trying to see if I can put it in a garage somewhere. Will the battery run out and should I be prepared in case that happens? Also, since I will have to drive more than 3k right after I come back in August and I might not have the time to get an oil change and other inspection, I plan to change it earlier (I wanted to upgrade the transmission oil and break fluids anyways), is that preferable?
