I'm sure i've gone 2 weeks in the winter as it's not my daily drive. For my daily drive i'm blessed with an '02 Ford Taurus company car Talk about appreciation when I do drive mine.

when i'm not at my one account, I also work from home. I always take it out for some high speed runs during the while i'm at home.

In 6 months i put 1200 miles on it. Went 2-4 weeks without driving it at a time . Drove it 12k in 6 months (for work) and got tired of it i guess -- so i stopped driving it.

Last summer I was away for work and didn't drive it for 3 months. Car started up just fine... PS2 has no flat spots...increased pressure to 45psi for storage and put some fuel stabilizer.

Did you have it plugged into a battery conditioner? Three months is a loooong time! What's the deal with the fuel stabilzer? I've heard of that for diesels but never for a gasoline motor. I'm interested, going to leaving mine sitting in the garage sometinmes for as long as six weeks to two months....
