Storing Evo X

I have a evo I was wondering about storing in my sisters garage for 2 weeks while I am out of state. It has some type of dealership alarm that has a flashing blue light. I was just wondering if it would be ok sitting that long.

Sure, why not. It's best if your sister can start the car and let it run for a couple of minutes at least once within the 2 weeks so the fluids can move around and the battery charges.

My guess as to why the thread-starter mentioned the flashing blue light while asking the question is that his or her sister has epilepsy. Well, to alleviate your concerns, let me say that seizures are almost never triggered by lights that flash below 5 Hz and I've yet to see an alarm-light that flashes anything close to that quickly.

Its only two weeks. The car will be fine just sitting as is. Starting it to start it and not driving it isn't good for it either.
During deployments I have let my car sit months with only the main fuse pulled, and during the off season for racing my Evo will also sit for months, hell right now the last time I started my car was Nov 19th. Two weeks is nothing, your baby will be fine.

It'll be fine. If you're too concerned, unplug your battery and you should be good.
