2. Gas Preserver
3. Change oil before storage
4. Keep in neutral with parking break off - I have 6MT, will stabilize with blocks to prevent roll. Any problem keeping it in gear?
5. Will not start the car - Nobody gave a reason but multiple threads talk about not starting the car. Any thought?
Thanks!

1) Battery tender is the way to go but I dont believe you can plug it into the lighter. Definitely go under the hood (which is so easy, by the way)
2) Everything else is overkill, especially the no-start thing. Its only a few months, not years. It's not like your storing it in a barn for 50 years for Wayne Carini to find it and auction off at Pebble Beach
