Tips for storing a car: Yes, have the gas tank full of gas with Stabil or similar. Actually pump gas should remain stable for a year or so, but why screw around. Pull the spark plugs and fog the cylinders down with penetrating oil or similar, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank a few times. I don't know if this holds true for modern radials, but on old cars, that was why they were always 'up on blocks', resting on the tires in the same spot creates a large flat spot.
Probably wouldn't hurt to do a search on 'storing your car' and seeing what you come up with.
BTW, glad to see you are keeping the car. After seeing all what you've done to yours and then have to sell it....that breaks me lil' ol' heart to see that, as we all know, a saab is a good way to turn a lot of money into a little bit of money :)
