Hi,

Despite earlier recommendations, if you live in a Cold Climate (daily temps lower than 40 degree avg.) it is not better to run the car every couple weeks, this is much worse for the car.

Belts, Seals will be cold when you first start it. Also, each time you start it, you'll be cranking the Engine and running it for the first few minutes on Dry Oil Galleries and Bearing Shells ('til the thick Oil flows and pressurises), this will amount to much metal-to-metal wear.

Run it Daily, or Hibernate it. These are your best choices!...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
