Such as????
What happens most often is seals, gaskets, and rubber components dry out or shrink up..
So seals and gaskets will shrink so they have the possibilty of leaking.
Rubber begins to perish once dried out to a certain point.
Unless there is rust or corrosion issues internally in the engine or transmission the only other thing that can happen is seals and gaskets shrinking up.
If there is no internal rust or corrosion in the engine or transmission then nothing could be damaged from disuse.
How would the supposed serious damage occur????
Now water damage to the interior or sun damage or other weather damage to the car from setting for a long period of time.
Yes that is possible. But it is not going to hurt the engine or transmission.
