Just sitting in there, corrosion occurs and your oil will not be as good a lubricant because it won’t just be oil that is being pumped throughout your engine on startup.
And for crying out loud, if you invested in a sports car, you made a commitment to owning a complex piece of machinery, and that requires maintenance. And that costs money.
So suck it up, and drop a $100 on an oil change.
I’m sorry, but if $100 every six months is “wasting money”, then you should not have invested in the car in the first place.

you realize I hope, that the oil and fuel in the oil boil off when you drive it right? If you did a used oil analysis, you'd realize that the amount of water and fuel in a car with no mechanical issues is very minimal.
