Hey guys, This might have already beenn posted but I'm going to be deploying in the next couiple days and I should have asked this earlier but I've got to pack and do a bunch of other crap. Anyways my question is, should I let my wife take the path every once in a while to go grocery shopping,(I cringe at the thought because of her driving abilities) or, should i jsut unplug the battery and let it sit there for seven months. any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would just trust her, thats me. But if you really feel like you cant, i would put a battery tender on it instead of unhooking it. They cost like $40 and would help keep the battery good.

I'm currently deployed and have that situation with my Jeep. I say let her drive it once a week. The fluids need to be kept moving through the vehicle. Sitting for 6 months to 1 year will be very hard/bad on seals/gaskeets. You might have alot more work cut out for you if the vehicle is not driven for a long time.

Well I guess I should just let her drive it.

I think you will be better off. IF she's like my wife she didn't end up driving it every week. But it has been driven enough.

+1

your seals, etc will start drying up if you let it sit for extended periods of time. not saying that they are going to fail in 6 mo, but it will be better to drive it once a week.

not to go into your personal life, but she'll be much safer in the pathy as compared to a smaller car.

cars are always replaceable if godforbid anything happens
