Thumbs up Starting the car finally after 2 months

For those who often store their cars during winter, do you watch for anything when you start the car after it being sitting there for over 2 months?

I guess just take it easy in the beginning? I will be doing an oil change first thing.

Make sure all your fluids are topped off and start it up.

You might need to charge your battery.

My battery's been in the house, I made sure it was charged, made sure fluids were full, let it warm up for a few minutes and took it easy for a few miles to the gas station. Then I put the top down and had fun.

It did stall immediately after starting, but it's had no fuel pressure for a while and it started right up fine after that.

I will throw an octane booster in to freshen up the fuel, that is about it.
