It appears to me that essentially that would be putting your car into temporary storage. IMO, it should be froken in before subjecting it to that kind of treatment. Generally, storage of a car is hard on it. Lots of concerns here, just off the top of my head --

In or outdoors? Covered or not? Heated area or not? Available to start at least weekly? Rotate (just turn them to avoid flatspotting) the wheels/TIRES monthly or so? Humidity control (thinking of your interior here, mostly)?

I'm sure there are other concerns; dunno if I'd ever want to do that to a brand new car unless absolutely necessary -- like buying it and being deployed overseas, etc.

WOW. Wouldn't like to make that decision. Luck to you.
