You wanna look at your coolant hoses and inspect for dry rot. Wiper blades should be kept inside the car and attached when car used vs left out in the elements. You should run it every 4 days or so for about 15 minutes to let the coolant & other fluid systems circulate. Unhook the battery if you plan to leave it for more than 3 weeks and simply re-attach the leads when you go to use the car or start it or you could end up with a dead battery out and about even if it starts initially. Get high mileage or heavy duty synthetic oil put in, it will not gunk as easily over time. Check power steering fluid levels, as that tends to evaporate or leak through older seals. One last thing, is get a cover for it, one you can put into a bag, keep the bag in the hatch/trunk. Covering it is probably the most you can do for a car, even one in perfect condition, because water is the arch enemy of stored vehicles. Keep tires inflated to minimum pressure, and check to ensure your brakes have good pressure and not too much brake pedal travel. The parking brake should be left on and the shifter in park wheels put straight.

Good luck!
