RE:Away for the winter

Here is what I did with my GTI when I went to the Persian Gulf to play in 
the sand for about 8 months.  Drove into my parents driveway. Pulled the 
car as far over to the left as possible. Turned the car off,  locked the 
car, left the keys with Dad as well as a check for the car cover once it 
comes in and left.  Came back 8 months later  (Sept through March), started 
it up and drove away.  No battery drains problems, no flat spots, no 
smells, no guests in the exhaust.

-Gave the car to my brother in law 2 years later. It know has 270k miles on 
it and the engine is still running strong.
