Best Way to Store Away Your Car for a Long Period of Time?
for how long and what weather conditions.
i think i remember reading under certain conditions you would want to drain all of the fluids, such as engine oil, tranny oil, gas...
then i also remember something about starting and driving the car every once in a while.

1. wash/wax if going under a car cover
2. replace the oil
3. flush the radiator, replace with new coolant
4. flush brake fluid/clutch fluid
5. full tank of gas w/ dry-gas additive
6. put car on jackstands, put something under wheels so shocks aren't fully extended -OR- since its only 1.5 months, i'm sure it'll be fine just sitting on the tires
7. disconnect negative battery cable
8. crack a window!

Thats like two months, big deal! Just cover it. I drove my AMG like once a month and sometimes once every 6 or so weeks. Started up like a champ. When I read the title I thought you ment 6-12 months
DTN94LS didn't say how long, so maybe he's gotta worry more than IntegraR.
Fresh fluids - put stabilizer in the gas (not dry-gas)
MICE! They'll shred your air filter & make a nest in there. So be careful where you pick as a storage place. They like to eat insulation off the wiring harness, too.
