Tomorrow I'll be able to pick up my car in Rotterdam. It has been 7 weeks since I put it on transport in Cincinnati.
Should I take any special precautions after not having used it for so long?

My car was inactive for about 2-3 months during the time it sat on the dealer lot and then the transport time to Canada. I didnt too many special precautions but these were the few things I did check:

1) check oil/coolant levels
2) started and let idle for a few minutes before driving
3) check tires and tire pressure

Then basically once I did start driving it, I gave it some good warm up time driving carefully before I drove it in a spirited manner.
