The only problems I have had is a dead battery, as my 7 is a "project", and is hardly ever started. But that'll change soon enough!

2 weeks won't have any negative effects on your car.

I've noticed that after sitting for a couple weeks, my 13B likes to cough out a lot of oil smoke once she's restarted. It was explained to me in a thread somewhere, perhaps on this forum, that it's a normal condition of oil slowly seeping past the seals and collecting in the housing, then being burned off on startup. Apparently, that's not incredibly painful for the car.

I certainly hope not, at least, since mine is going to be on jack stands for a little bit while I get the front end rebuilt...

The worst thing that could happen is dead battery like it was said above.... My car sits for months at a time, Starts right up as long as it has a good battery. 2 weeks won't do anything...Don't worry about it
