speration anxiety from not driving
power withdrawal from not getting that nice kick
figidity cause you want to crank that engine
cold sweats at night because you want to take her out on a cruise

=P or you know... you could get your car shipped to where you are ahahaha

The manual has some info about storing. If you are already two months in, sounds like you are just wondering what to expect when you get back. If you didn't disconnect the battery or set the extended storage switch (see manual) the battery will likely be dead. Six months is a long time for gas to sit around if it has not been treated. Your tires might be flat spotted etc. etc. Just be aware when you get back that you shouldn't just fire it up and expect all to be sweetness and light. Do a little maintenance before you road trip it.

Only thing I didn't see was out her up on jack stands, Will help with flat spots on the tires, The battery , Stabilizer ECT are all things I did storing my summer cars. :) all tho I would go and start it once every 5 days for 20 mins or so But I'm a weirdo LOL

i've heard putting it on jacks will stretch the suspension and let it hang causing potential premature wear on it....

i also see a lot of conflicting information in regarsd to flat spots as the newer tires have better compound composition that prevents the tire spots. but everyone has their ritual!

I store my car for Winter and probably most of summer as well :P :P

No issues at all.

Outside, car cover....

Indoors, car cover.....
