What was the longest timeframe you've ever had your f-body sit (without starting it, turning it over or moving it) and what problems did you experience when you tried to start/move it after that timeframe?

I store mine from the first snowfall (usually ~ December) till the salt is washed off the road for the year. (usually late March early April). So roughly 4 months for mine. I keep a battery tender hooked up and I don't start it periodically. My theory is one cold/dry start in the spring is better than 4 or 5 cold/dry starts through the winter.
