No there shouldnt be anything wrong. my friends dad left his carerra unstarted for months.. only thing is when he tried starting it it sputters for a while so takes a bit to get it running. If I were YOU id start it once a while and let oil circulate the engine, maybe even take it around the neighborhood and let the engine feel the gears.

if its more then a month you should go to an autozone or pepboys and get fuel stabilizer. im pretty sure its called stabil. It helps prevent your fuel from seperating.

Why again would you let it sit in the garage for that long. Cars are meant to be driven. Not saying its wrong to not drive it often but whats the point? Make use of it while you have it, don't you think?

there could be a lot of reasons. Vacations, business trips, using beater car to go from work and back. I have done all the following. Most people have teh Z as a second car like every other sports car. It's more practical for single men than guys with families.
