Sitting in storage- how long before issues?

I just got a 2015 Challenger "Scat Pack" with a Shaker hood. Sublime and black- Stupid fast and I LOVE it.

My 75 Roadrunner is taking a temporary back seat until the newness wears off the Challenger so she is sitting in a storage so the Chally can be in my garage.

My question is how long is too long for her to sit in storage before gremlins set in? She is in a 12 x 30 storage facility under a car cover. I did nothing special other than drive her over and park her. It is summer in Texas so it gets hot and dry easily getting over 100 in the garage.

She is used to being driven 3-4 times a week and now it will be driven 3-4 times a month sitting 10 days at a time.

Will inactivity cause anything or should I find a reason to keep her more mobile? The road runner has been very dependable and I attribute that to consistent use.

Any ideas?

10 days between driving is not a big deal.  You will have to watch for mice as always in a storage unit, but fuel and fluids will be fine.  You also want to consider a battery disconnect so your battery does not drain, but again 10 days should not be an issue.  If you start to store it for a couple of months between drives, then you might think about storage issues.

Outside of car show season I drive my car less than you plan to and it's perfectly fine.  Keep the battery offline...
