No M2 here but got:
E92 M3 (modded/garage queen)
E36 M3 (was my DD, not sure what the plan is but don't want sell)
Z4M Roadster (newest project, good weather car)
97 4Runner (beater/dog hauler)
2018 MINI Cooper S (new company car)

I keep up with all my repairs and maintenance, so no prep required (even though the to do list is endless). I try to drive all my cars at least once every other week, enough that I get them up to temp. That's the beauty of being able to pick. Right car for the right time.

If I had to park my cars for longer term, then I would make sure I take care that the tires are inflated, fuel tank is full and it's on a battery tender. Luckily, we don't get snow where I live so I drive my cars throughout the year.

Add a Miata - that's the go-kart - and the lineup will be complete!
(At least until the new 911 GT3 Touring becomes available... )

Great question. All my cars are on battery tenders but are always ready to go. I rotate drives in them as much as possible, so a car doesn't sit more than a month.

I put them all away for winter (battery tender, full tank of gas, extra air in tires) but we usually have one or two mild weekends.

If there is no salt on the roads I will drive them on that mild day so the most a car ever sits is about 2 months.

That's exactly the next step, Miata!

You're exactly right being thinking getting an ND Miata for a long time gonna wait till used prices drop.

GT3 would cause too much anxiety, door dings, etc...

I already park my M2 at least a mile away in public parking!
