Storing a car for like 2 years?

Not really sure which category this goes into, because it sort of fits into all of them, but it looks like I may have to store my car up here in cold old Canada for 8 months. Well, maybe even as long as 2 years. I will be able to drive it for a month or so at a time, each summer. So what are some things I should do? I already have a small list..

-new brake fluid, have someone push the pedal once in a while
-dont put it on grass (I was thinking of getting a bubble)
-jack stands on all corners
-a little oil in each cylinder
-drain the other fluids

anything else? oddly enough, I couldnt find anything else in here for storing a car that long..

I read in Hot Rod mag. that to fill up the fuel tank as full as you can and put stable in it also, this stops the condinsation from forming on the inside of the tank and rusting it from the inside out, alot of people may disagree but it makes sense to me.

Well it turns out I may have to move for university and between staying on campus and the costs of living and stuff, I just dont think I will be able to afford to insure and gas the thing. I'll be home during the summer, when I can drive it, but otherwise..
