Default If you are in a high humidity area, I suggest you fill the gas tank

to prevent mositure/water from condensing in it.
Other than that do nothing. Have fun

Default Dont do anything

Don't do ANYTHING!! If it is perfect now, it will be perfect when you get back. Doing unusual things, will give you unusual results. I am an airline pilot. My Audi sits for a week at a time all the time. My 1992 Ford Taurus sits in the airport parking lot for months at a time. Sometimes, 45 days between starts. Never had a problem.

I don't think it's necessary for two weeks. If it was longer, say 1 month than yeah.
