I've had my Fizzer up for sale the last two years, asking $3K for my '07 with new tires, which I didn't think was out of bounds.
Anyhoo, I kept starting it up and driving around a few miles every few months, to keep the battery charged and the fluids moving around. Last November I moved it into my enclosed carport, but noticed a strong gas smell and took it to the shop. They didn't call me all winter, finally visited and learned that my fuel tank had corroded through! I didn't drive enough to end up buying fresh gas, and the hygroscopic ethanol in the gas pulled enough water vapor out of the air to corrode, and finally cause a leak, in the vent system of the tank.
Replacement Cost: $900.00
So, just a warning for you folks: ensure you burn out the gas every 6 months or so, or at least pour in some stabilizer prior to a long park. Ouch.
