here is a tip
put rat poison EVERYWHERE
seriously put some inside the car, under the hood, hell put some under the car
dont wanna come back only to find out rats ate your wiring harness
also if its cold i would drain the fluids...you dont want build up in oil gunk and bad gas just make sure you add more fluid before you try to drive it again

two months should not ruin the gas and oil.. but be sure both are fresh and FULL! especially the fuel tank.. you do not want condensation forming inside the tank and adding water to the fuel.
if you can.. at least start her up once a week and roll her back and forth... NOT parking with the wheels the same way (ie.. make sure a different part is on the ground) to avoid flatspotting.

I"ve had my Tiburon sitting for 8 months, I put fuel stabilizer and the car started up just fine.
Is he in the canadian military? can anyone explain what he's doing?
