Thanks for the info Saif. I had it in the gallery a couple of month ago when I was trying to sell my AMG wheels. I looked on that page but cant find it. I'll post new pics as soon as I get some mods on it. No sence in posting a "Stock" picture !!

Saif, you all done with Northeastern?
Leave the car with me. It'll be in good hands. Just kIdding
Let me know if your dealership lets you keep the car there. I go on long trips, but no 2.5 month trips

Jose, I'm all done! I will be starting my Masters in Fall, that's why I'm taking a long vacation. I decided to leave the car at home and just disconnect the battery. I didn't talk to the dealership, but if you bought your car from them, they should be able to keep it for you.

I haven't had to store a car before, but back in my 911 (993) days I read that Porsche recommends disconnecting the battery if you plan to store it for a long time. Porsches will drain the battery in two or three weeks if left alone.
An alternative is leave one of the (good-quality) electronic trickle chargers on it.
I don't think you'll flat-spot your tires if you inflate them to the max. Maybe if you left it for a year or so!

jswedberg, Thanks for the info. I completely forgot about my third option, the charger you mentioned. Any idea where I can buy one from? Also what brand/kind are good quality ones? Thanks.
