Default Advice on What to do

I'll be traveling in Europe for the summer (approx 3 months) and my car will sit garaged without it being driven.

My question is, should I bother to unplug the battery terminal to prevent teh power from being drained? or should i not bother?

Thanks in advance

unplug battery and put the car on jack stands to avoid flat spots on the tire.

Also make sure to add some fluid stabilizer oro have a friend drive the car at least once a week.

I leave for AZ for 5 months each winter and leave my Porsche 944 and Z behind in IL. Here's the routine. I change the oil,put fuel stabilizer in the gas tank,fill up the tank to prevent condensation,fill the tire to the maximum pressure stated on the side of the tire(higher then the rec pressure for driving)and remove the battery and store indoors to prevent freezing in IL. Porsche technicians warned me against putting the 944 on jack stands saying it could damage the struts. I have had no problem with tire flat spots.
