vacation

[effekz]

i am about to leave for vacation in about a week, wat i was wondering was, do i have to do anything to my car to keep things (fluids, ect..) from drying up or anything? im gonna be gone for about a week at most, i have a 97 240 with a redtop sr20det, and im afraid of it not starting or anything happening to it wen i get back home (knock on wood) any help would be appreciated thanx

Are you serious...

For a week the MOST I would do is disconnect the battery. I, personally, wouldn't even do that. Just park it somewhere where it won't get messed with.

First you post this ^^^

Then you ask this.

I have to quote my self from your last post.

Are all people from Hawaii like this? How old are you? Have you dropped out of school?

lol
I'm leaving my cars in storage for 3 years (well, one year has elapsed already) and all i did was disconnect the battery and dump some fuel stabilizer into the tank.
Oil doesn't dry up, really.

disconnect the battery, and thats all

They're not hating, it's just inconcievable that you would think your oil would dry up... After a week... I mean seriously... Guh.

I hear that if you are leaving it is a good idea to cover your car in bologna slices. As a hint, I would suggest leaving it in direct sunlight for best results.

actually if u storing ur car for a while and worried, u can disconect Cas and let it turn over a few times. then start it. theres really nothing u need to do dude. its not like the gears will age. lol. maybe rub some Neutrigina on your paint...?

[smellslikecurry]

i dont know what you guys are talking about...you have to cover the car with mayo first before you put on the salami...geez

...also, I read somewhere that pouring sugar into you gas tank will absorb any excess moisture that may be in the tank, which is a good thing to get ride of if you are going to be gone for any time period longer than 5.25 days.
