I stored my Cobra at my Dad's warehouse about 40 miles from me for the winter around Thanksgiving. I have it on a battery tender, but it has sat since then. I sold my condo and I won't have any place to put it until I buy a house, so its probably gonna sit another month atleast :( Is it okay for it to sit for 5 months? Just wondering?

Mine hasn't moved more than 50 miles over the past 4 or 5 months probably. I wish the warm weather would hurry up and get here so I can start driving it some. :(

The longest mine ever sat for is 2 months, and the original battery died of course. I think it should be fine except for the tires...might get flat spots or something.

Mine has been stored for 15 months once and 12 months twice. I wouldn't sweat it.

Mine hasn't moved a inch since the end of October. And is not going any where for a couple more months.

Mine has been sitting since November, normally 4-5 months. Sta-bil in the gas, and I have a Battery Tender for it.

Mine has been sitting since the end of Nov but drove her this week to do a clutch swap on base and it's warm outside.

Mine has set 4 months or more every winter since I bought it in 2002. This is the first winter I've put Stabil in it. It has never given me any issues upon start up, fuel or otherwise.
I think you will be just fine.

7 months now. I popped a head gasket and hurt the #8 cylinder on the way back from Mustang Week. And it's gonna sit a lot longer lol until I have the money to fix it or sell it.
