Emergency Brake... on or off?
Leave it in gear?
1 or 2 Stabil?
Put mothballs in trunk, frunk, passenger cabin, exhaust pipes?
Inflate tires to 50?
Anything else I should be doing?

Brake off. Chock the wheels with a small block of wood.
Out of gear, so you can roll it a little bit each month to further minimize flatspotting.
Add Sta-Bil at a rate of 1 ounce per 2.5 gallons of fuel (I double dose because my car sits for 6 months).
I use a desiccant, in large amounts, like you get with fine electronics.
Tires should be over inflated to 55-58 PSI.
