Unplanned Leave From The Z
 
Hey guys,
Yesterday at work I managed to break a bone in my left foot, and tear 3 legiments. They are still unsure if I tore anything else, or if my ankle is actually broken. Needless to say, my clutch foot is pretty much worthless for a good 3 weeks. Is there anything that I need to worry about with my Z being parked for that long? She is in my small single car garage, and I have purchased a beater Jeep for the sole purpose of keeping my Z from the salt and snow. Never planned on having it sit for so long, but really, can't help it.... Anything I should look out for?
Thanks!:tiphat:

PS- To all members, don't break your foot, it sucks!!

Sorry about the foot. Your car will be fine for three weeks. If you store it for longer than a month you should consider putting it on jack stands to prevent flat-spotting your tires. Get well dude.

Sorry to hear about your foot, Ouch! hope you have a speedy recovery, and don't worry about the Z, if it makes you feel any better fire it up once a week just for it to warm up.. or do nothing..she'll be fine. :tup:

I had my Z sitting in my garage for 3 weeks right after i bought it..cuz i had to go on a trip..came back and it still kicking..nothing wrong with it..but just need a good warm up before running it..

Maybe toss some stabil or something in the tank but you should be ok with letting it sit for 3 weeks. Sucks about the foot though, you manage to do that on the job?

I got deployed a few times in active duty, my car stayed in the garage for 11 mths or more. All I did was to tell my old lady to take it out every two weeks and drive it around the neighborhood, never had any problem except for the battery because the old lady left the alarm on even that the car was inside a closed door garage.
