Should I be doing anything similar for the car? I'll be gone from June to probably November, and both vehicles will be on a battery tender.

Thanks for everyone's words of wisdom, and may I say that my first few months as a Villager have been a blast!
I’m usually gone for 5 months & this is what I do with my car & cart.
Add fuel stabilizer to both tanks after filling both up and run them for a while.

Disconnect both batteries.

Golf cart has a mat under it.

I jack the car up and place 4 Jack stands underneath. Pretty inexpensive thru Harbor Freight for Jack & stands.

Jacking the car up is to eliminate tire flat spots that can happen.
