UGH. MIGHT have to sell my baby...

For what it's worth, sitting doesn't hurt a car. It doesn't get depressed and want to end it all. That said, where it sits does hurt a car. Parked in tall grass, under a tree, out on the street, or in that marshy spot out behind the garage...not good! Now, parked in a well ventilated garage with the proper mouse proofing in place and driven from time to time with the proper maintenance? No problem! I've been doing it with a whole assortment of vehicles for over thirty years and I haven't had any problems or concerns yet. So, be not afraid of the dreaded idle car for the only thing to fear is the occasional rough idle!

And don't forget the Battery Tender or similar! I just drove my Cobra yesterday after sitting for the last two months. No issues. My Mustang has been sitting in the driveway (covered) for the better part of six months, hooked up to a battery tender, and I plan to fire it up tomorrow for a short drive around town. Check the tires and fluids before starting, and drive far enough to warm everything up completely, and you should be fine for a long time. And you can lower your insurance by claiming lower annual mileage.
