Well, there is a middle ground there. During the winter months, I drive my Boxster once a week, about 20 miles each time, just to give it exercise. But it gets fully warmed up, and when warmed up, I'll gun the rev's to 5k or 6k and drive it like I stole it. And then I let it sleep for a week. That's a heck of a lot better than ten trips of 2 miles each a day apart or one trip of 500 miles and then letting the car sit for 4 months.
Machines need exercise, just like you and me.
