Hey guys, my car has been sitting since the middle of april. Most of the time it was out in the weather, and recently I brought it into the garage. Should I do anything to the motor or the fluids that go to the motor? Would seafoam do good for me?

Just check all of your fluids and make sure your tires don't have a flat spot.

replace all your fluids, check your tires, check your belts/hoses to make sure they aren't cracking, i'd maybe even drain the gas tank and put some fresh gas in it.
GO PATS!!!
Take it easy when you drive it for a while till the rings loosen back up. Some condensation may have been in you engine.

I'll third this to make it really important!!
once you are ready to fire it up again..... Let it idle for about 10-15 minutes before puting in gear and driving off.

yes id say change all major fluid (i.e oil, tranny fluid, collant, gas) and I woul reccomend Seafoam, but if your going to Seafoam it, put sum in your cranks case and drive it NO MORE than 50 miles and change your oil
and check other itmes suck as tires, belts, hoses, make sure there's no rats nests n e where, also check breaks, if they were stock, they can crack and seperate from sitting, and rotos may have warpped/pitted/rusted from sitting (eve wonder why they say on the box for rotoros "DO NOT STACK ON SIDE" ya thats cuz they warp if they are verticle for long periods of time)
I limped it to a service garage to get my brake lines bled/fixed and the fronts squeak like crazy. I'm probably going to replace pads/rotors. The rears I already replaced. It felt soo good driving it again, even if it was 2 blocks up the road
Once I get it back I'll seafoam it all up and I should be golden.

i'm talking about long periods of stand time, when the vehicle is driven regularly, the heating/cooling of the rotors keeps them parallel, unless overheated.
