I simply think it's better to have the car sit w/o being started. I used to do the routine of starting it every week or 2 a long time ago, but over time I realized more people left the car alone and didn't start until it was ready to be driven.

The fluids don't get clogged. It just settles.

I normally take the battery out of the car and store that in the house basement or have it sit on a work bench in the garage. Just don't let the battery sit on the cold, concrete floor or it will drain. Otherwise, go get yourself a battery tender.
Thanks for the info, just things i heard from friends that store their cars. Its my first rwd and first time storing a car, appreciate all the tips!
