I am going out of town for a month, what should I do to protect/store my G??
It stays in the garage when I go out of town but this will be the first time I will be out for this amount of time. Someone will still be in my house but they are not allowed to touch the car! .Should I just have them start it up so the battery doesnt die??

A weekly start up would be fine, Let it run for about 5-10 minutes, Shut down and leave the premises.

or you can buy a charger that connects to a outlet. But idk if you want to buy for it just for one run.

Put some Stabil in your fuel tank and disconnect he negative battery cable if nobody will be able to touch it. If someone can start it, let them start it up and run the engine until it gets to operating temperature (5 to 10 min) once a week like Retromoe said.

I'm working right now on tuning up my Maxima that's been sitting undriven for the better part of 3 years in my driveway. The tires are perfectly fine. I didn't stabilize the fuel or do any of the prep that I should have to let the car sit so long; I never intended on it being not driven for so long. It needed a new battery (duh!) but other than that there are no problems at all. It ran a little rough for the first 5 or 10 minutes after starting it up, but smoothed right out and it's doing just fine. This is a '96 Maxima with over 200K on the odometer. I think a much bigger deal tends to be made of storing a car than is necessary. Your car will be just fine for such a short period.

Ok thats what I thought as well but I always here these dealers tell me that these cars get flat spots on the tires from not bring driven. I always thought they just needed to be balanced or aligned, they felt like they had some vibration in them. This was before I purchased my car, happened at a Lexus dealer also.

You won't get a permanent flat spot in 30 days. Depending on the temperature, you could roll a little rough at first but get them good and warm and it will smooth out any rough roll.

Any modern car should be more than capable of sitting at least 30 days without getting touched. The tires should be fine, battery should be fine, etc.
