I am going to be moving to Minneapolis for 2 years, but am leaving my car here in Utah. Does anyone have any tips for storing the car - to prevent seals from failing, condensation in the cylinders, or anything else I should be concerned about?

You will want to remove the battery and put it on trickle charge, give the whole engine bay a light coating of WD-40, remove the plugs and spray some WD-40 in the ctliners, maybe put it up on stilts and deflate the tires to prevent them from cracking, clog the intake and exhaust pipe to prevent things from entering, cover it up and say your goodbyes!
that must suck, how come you cant take your car with you?

I saw some marine fogging oil in the auto store the other day. That would be good for the cylinders, valves, intake, etc.
Cheers,
Charlie :)

put your cars on jackstands so the tires, springs, and struts don't go bad...
