Sorry if this has already been covered. I have a 2005 Boxster S and do not need to drive it from now (Dec. ) until approx. March or April. My question is what concerns I may need to consider if I store it and do not drive it for this length of time. I do have a battery tender so the battery will be on full charge. I also realize that the tires will flat spot but hopefully will be O.K. after a few miles. If I start the car and let in run for 15-20 minutes without moving it, will this be enough to keep any parts or systems from failing due to lack of use? I have been told that seals can go bad very quickly due to lack of use. I appreciate any input here. Thanks.
