Default I'm going away for 3 weeks, do i need to do anything? (m)

I think i left my car once for 2 weeks, no probs starting it up. Will 3 be too long?

If so, if i ask a friend to start it up once a week for a few minutes, is that good enough, or do i really have to unplug the battery?

Thanks!

Default Yes,

Have fun.
If you have a good battery,three weeks will be fine. If worried,you can disconect the battery to eliminate any electrical draw.

Default If you disconnect the battery,

The car will not age until you reconnect it.

Default Put the car up on blocks, pull the tires and stack them, fill the fuel tank, disconnect the battery,

Hee hee...your car will be fine, just park it where the birds can't divebomb it, and have a good time. 3 weeks is nothing!
