Is it possible to have someone drive it occasionally?

If not I would pull the battery out of it, drain the gas out (can't see anything good coming of gas that is 2-3 years old). Not sure what you do about tank having humidity in it and possibly rusting.

Also have heard that before you start it after the 2-3 years, pull the plugs, put oil in top of each cylinder (maybe put extra oil in top before you store also?), crank it without starting it, then replace plugs with new ones, new gas, probably new battery and start it. I would probably also flush the brake fluid now and when you get back.

I have also never done a long term storage of a car so I am interested in what others think.
