Really need some more info, but, my drill would be.....
Wash it and change the oil. Make sure antifreeze is right for lowest extreme temperature for your winter, if you are not going to run it at all for several months then take the battery out and keep it indoors, hook it up to a trickle charger once in a while. Top off to a full tank of gas to reduce condensation in the tank during cool to warm temp spells. Put some Stabil fuel stabilizer in the gas tank before the fill up and run it a while so the stabilizer gets into the fuel lines. Close the windows all the way. Lock it and hide a key in the garage in case you lose the other key during your next rave or News Years Party. Cover car with a sheet or a breathable car cover. If you don't put the car up on blocks/jackstands, then put 45 lbs of air in each tire. Block the tires so it can't roll and do not set the emergency brake, it may rust to the disc.
Place mothballs and mouse traps in the garage (not in the car). Never underestimate the power of mice; they stopped the German army's advance on Russia. While the panzers staged in the steppes for a few weeks waiting for orders, mice ate the wiring in the tanks' engine compartments while they sat dormant.
But how could you stay away from your SAAB for such a long time? Why not let one of us use it while if you don't need it. After all, the best way to get more performance from your car is to let one of us drive it!
