is there a limit on how long my car can sit without starting/driving? weather has been cruelly cold/wintry this year and i've only started it and gone "sround the block" once since Dec 1st last year. should i prep and store or can i just start it every 2 weeks or so? what damage is being done to it if it sits too long? never had a "summer" car before so i need clues.
thanks peace --------------------  |

Just get the car on axle stands/blocks to avoid flat spots on your tyres, disconnect the battery and thats it. It does more damage starting the car without getting the oil up to operating temp (90-95 Celcius) then letting it sit for the rest of the winter.
