Default Haven't started car in 6 months .. What to check??

I know, it's sad, but my car has sat for 6 months without being started. What all do I need to check, clean etc before I try to fire her for the first time again??

You should be fine. Gas should not go bad in just 6 months. 24 months yea, I'd drop the tank and empty the varnish that used to be gas but you should be fine. Your tires may be a bit flat spotted but I doubt it after only 6 months. You should be fine. I would probably change the oil and filter though. Might also want to fill the tank back up.
