I'll be starting a hike in a couple of weeks. I need a place to park my car for 2-3 weeks. From Front Royal I'll be hiking SOBO. Any input is appreciated.

Check with the 4H Center to see if you can park for that long. They allow hikers to park there I just dont know if for that amount of time. There is a blue blaze trail of @ .3 miles that takes you to the AT. Not gonna lie though, its straight up hill :)

I parked there on an overnight and IMO it is a very safe place to park.

For what it's worth and if it fits your plans, I stayed at the Quality Inn in Front Royal this past spring, and parked my truck there while I hiked to Duncannon, PA. They make you park in the back lot, but it doesn't cost anything. Not sure if they would let you park there if you did not stay in the motel first.
