Default Z storage question.

Next week i'm going out of town on business for two months. Is there anything special i need to do to the Z (or any car for that matter) since it'll be sitting in the garage for the whole time?? I mean i know two months isn't that long. But this is the longest i've left a car without anyone driving/starting it, so i'm not sure. Thanks!!

You might want to disconnect the battery, otherwise, you'll return to find it dead. The drain on the battery is pretty heavy

I would buy a battery charger. It keeps a constant charge on the battery so it doesn't die. It's one of the best investment for people who go on vacations/business trips. My battery has never died on me when i was gone two months. This was with the stock battery.

mines fine after 1.5 months of sitting without a battery charger on stock battery.. idk. I'd say just keep the tires a little over inflated (if 35 is recommended around 38 or 39).

Put it in the garage, lock the car, lock the garage.

And don't won't worry, your battery will be fine.

i went to greece for 3 months past summer left the Z in a Car Tent. .came home and started right up. .if your that worried grab a cheap trickle charger just 2 keep the batt charged while your gone. .but like everyone else said. .lock it up n the garage and don't worry about it. .
