Car has been sitting 6 months

I've been away at school and my 95 M6 Formula has been sitting since November. It was ran shortly in March and may have been driven around the block or so. I'm now home and I'd like to start driving it again for the summer.

How should I go about starting it? Should I add fresh fuel? Anything I should be particularly careful about?

Re: Car has been sitting 6 months

you should have left it with a full tank and fuel stabilizer. but if you didnt, i dont think too much could have happened in 6 months. I'd check all the fluids, and make sure theyre ok. also, your battery may be dead.
