Hey guys i have a quick question about storing the car for a month while im in flordia, Would it be better to disconnect the battery? OR have someone drive it around just for a little(or just start it up)? What is the way to go?
A month isn't that long. Try to keep the car covered or in a garage so that nothing sticks to the paint. Disconnect the battery. Don't start it until you come back and can start driving it. There is no point in starting a vehicle that has been sitting just to have it sit again. It can hurt the motor because when you let it sit, the oil sinks into the oil pan and basically you are starting a motor with little oil. Also you could put a box of baking soda in the vehicle to prevent any smells starting up.
