Default Storing for 6 months

Well, gotta go to work so I'm parking the car for 6 - 7 months. It will be garaged in Florida over the summer. Hot and humid. Any suggestions on what I should do to prepare it for storage?

Not much but I have been burned several times by the lousy ethanol in the gas. Put Sta-Bil in the tank and you should be OK.

Add a bottle of fuel stabilizer. Top off the tank with high octane. Park it. Maybe consider jacking it up on all four so you dont flat spot the tires, otherwise, inflate the tires to 40-50psi, give it a fresh oil change, and consider putting a battery tender on it,

That's about it, 6 months isn't that long,

Fill the gas tank, battery tender. That's about it. Add your favourite snake oil if it helps you sleep.
