i went to Spain for 3.5 months.

I did the following:

changed oil

detailed car

pumped up tires to 50ish i think

i had some spare carpet around so i cut out 1ft x 1ft squares and put 2 of them under each wheel.

disconnected battery

Filled up tank

That's it. There are so many things you can do but this worked well. One thing, it was winter and my top got so cold and since it didn't move for 3.5 months, my rear window cracked badly the first time i put it down in december.

i found some redline SI-1... and according to what road rage posted about this stuff a while back, it contains alcohol to soak up water, cleans your fuel injects etc, of carbon build up, and seems to have some kick to up octane a smidge. 3-in-1 all for $7. 1 bottle treats 100 gallons of gas. so this stuff should be plenty. thanks for the tips xviper. i did some research and found a good additivie.

just for reference, i found the threat here:
