The 8 and rotaries in general require some hands on maintenance from their owners. Its not just changing the oil every so often, change it every 3000 miles, check the oil level every other fill up, replace spark plugs and ignition coils every 15-20k miles. Read up, there is a lot to learn here, it will result in a much better running car. Storing them, usually leads to issues, it is not a car that really takes to being put away for a while, most will say that to won one, they need to be driven regularly.
