not driving the car for 2 month

new in the forum.
what is the worst that can happen to a NEW car if I don't drive it for 1 or 2 months? will this ruin the engine drastically?
any inputs?

Its should be fine. A good idea would be to put in fuel stabilzer at your next fill up.

Just let it run for a while after you decide to turn it back on, and it will be a good idea to use the gasoline in there and put new one as soon as you can.
