Ask A Mechanic!
If possible have someone you trust start and run your car at least every three weeks by running it until it is warmed up to prevent items such as gaskets from drying up. Moving the car backward and forward in the driveway will help if you don't want to take it on roads. Getting everything to operating temperature on a dry and saltless road at once a month is our best advice.
