Had a DUI for some time now, no license for 8 more months. Its parked in the garage, it doesnt start on its own because the battery is empty from just being parked for so long (alarm) . It makes a clicking noise when i try to start ignition, if it even does that. I have to jump it everytime to get the car started n let the engine run. Occasionally i stroll around the neighborhood. Everything works fine im just wondering whats the best way to maintain my car for the next 8 months. Thank you.

 

I'd worry about the gas going bad. Maybe look for additives so the gas won't turn into paint thinner.

or have someone drive it for you until you run out of gas... then just add a gallon or two of gas that you can rotate once a month or so.

 

thank you, what kind of additives are available?

I'd do this. At least you could ride in it.

 

FILL the gastank to minimize in tank condensation.
Use an additive like StaBil or DryGas.
Make sure its well mixed and run the car for a while so it gets in the entire fuel system.

Give it a wash and wax.
Try and do this early in the morning to give it plenty of time to dry before going back in storage.

If you overinflate the tires just a little bit, it'll help fighting against flat spots.

Disconnect the battery.

If stored inside, make sure to crack the windows a bit.

 

wow... thank you... really appreciate the help guyz.
