My current SC routinely sits in the garage for 2-3 weeks at at time. (I haven't driven it in at least 2 weeks right now). Sometime (occasionally) it sits up to a month. Been doing that for 10 years now.

I have a quick disconnect on the battery, and I occasionally hook up a trickle charger.

I know this is contrary to conventional wisdom, but I've never had a problem with seals going dry, etc. etc. etc. I have no leaks, and it starts up and drives on the first try, no smoking, etc. and no running problems.

Edit: Oh, yeah, if I know I am going to be particularly busy and have a full tank of gas, I sometimes add fuel stabilizer. During really busy stretches, its taken me 6+ months to go through a tank of gas. I also add a little extra air to the tires if I know its going to be sitting. That's about it, though.
