    I mean I would have to get up early to go and then worry about my car battery dying due to being away for weeks.

    My ram sits 6 to 12 weeks at a time. I change the battety every year. Never had an issue. If your really worried pop a solar maintainer on it

    I have a 22 f 350 that I can start and stop with my phone - from anywhere I have service. I have never used that feature, but I guess a fella could start it once a week remotely if so inclined. Pretty easy to just disconnect the battery though.
