Default Car Storage Tips

Im deploying to Chicago for two months on the 27th of this month..
So my baby is going to be garaged at my parents place so my dad can crank her up and take her for weekly drives..
Any tips on what I should do before I garage her?
Thanks.

I would say if your dad is going to drive the car once a week, there wouldn't be anything special you would have to do. Just make sure he drives it enough to warm up the oil completely. Ten miles or so.

Record the mileage before you leave.

You might be surprised at the recorded mileage upon your return.

And your Dad may have a permagrin on his face that puts the Joker's smile to shame...lol...
