[Shotimes] Leaving for College

[Donald Mallinson]

I have a page devoted to this storage problem on my business 
web site at:

Basically, it is better to let the car sit, than have 
someone start it for a few minutes every week or month. 
Either have them take it for a nice long drive, or leave it 
alone!

Fresh fluids all the way around, especially anti-freeze, 
engine oil and brakes, Power steering and transmission 
flush/fills would also be a good thing.

Wax it and clean up the interior, and take out any valuable 
papers.  Make SURE there is no food inside the car anywhere 
or it will become a varmit nest!
