I am a firm believer in the store and leave school. I change the oil, fill the tank and add stabilizer, clean the car, add a few more Lbs. of air in the tires, put some mothballs in and around the car( we live in the country and mice are a problem) , cover it and forget it. The biggest strees on an engine is at startup as the oil film has decreased, leaving it for a month at a time and starting it just for a while serves no purpose and by not getting the car up to operating temp and beyond leaves moisture and pollutants in the oil and moisture in the exhaust system , which reduces the life span of both. I have been storing cars like this for the last 35 years and have had no problem. Ed
