don't worry too much. I store cars every winter. if you think it is going to sit all winter, put some stabil in the tank, pull the battery (which will most likely need a charge anyway right now). Honestly though, if you needed to spend $100 on a new battery at the end of this to get the car running, would you care much?
I would however put the car in neutral every couple of weeks and give it a push (only a couple feet at most)... you'll move the pads to a new spot on the rotors so they don't freeze (ie rust) on. You'll also move the tires to a different spot, and hopefully reduce or eliminate any flat spotting... my biggest problem with cars sitting was brakes. doing this stuff helped. usually there is a little room in a garage to change the front - back position in the parking space and that is all that is needed.
