Well, there's only one way to find out! But I'm willing to bet you're probably fine. I don't think anything will deteriorate and fall apart in 60 days, maybe just a dead battery. Just let her warm up before you romp on it. (as you probably should all the time anyways)

My car often sits for 6-8 weeks at a time between starts. Other than the MotorCrap battery possibly giving out, just start her up and drive. You might have some tire flat-spotting but that should go away after a few miles.

Like Nuke said, the tires might have a flat spot (that will go away), especially if you're on Pirellis.

You may experience an uncontrollable smile on your face and/or sudden genital excitement.
