Leaving the G for a Year (advice)

DashKid · 08-20-2009, 11:09 AM

Hi I am going to Korea for 1 year to teach English there and I was wondering what I should do before I leave. I heard I'm suppose to drive it once a week but no one in my family know's how to drive a stick.

Advice would be very helpful.

or you could put it on jacks, take the rims off and disconnect the battery.... but that's usually for like a winter hibernation....lol.....dunno if it's good for a whole year.

definitely need someone to drive it once a month...at least start it up

Fill the tank
Add Stabil
Disconnect Battery + Put Tender
Raise the car on jacks
Zip in Pocket
De-humidifier

You may want to think about selling it and save the insurance as well. I'm not a fan of car hibernations.

over here you can tell the drivers office that you will be storing for a year and they will not charge registration fees.....

If you jack the car up, you don't have to take the wheels off. Oh, and change the oil.

cool thanks for the help. Well I am going to cancel my insurance and get it back when I come back.

Find a friend or someone you trust to take the car out for a 15 minute drive twice a month. Then you wont have to bother with any of that other stuff.

I wouldnt do that If I'm keeping the car. Someone figures where you've "hibernated" and you can kiss your wheels goodbye to start with.
