I drive my car only on weekends....I think as long as you actually go out and drive it should be cool.

I only drive on weekends but like today..I took my car to the GAF in Ventura. So it was an easy 100 mile romp and probably more. So now my baby goes back under the car cover and there she will sit until next weekend!

Another thing is...you may want to invest in a battery tender/maintainer if you think the car is going to sit too long.

ALSO!!! DO NOT ARM YOUR ALARM if you can help it at all. If you arm the alarm and it is sitting for too long the car may go into "sleep" mode and you wont be able to unlock it with the remote and have to use your key to manually open the door or worst have to pop your trunk using the emergency wire. SUCKS! I know sometimes you have no choice, your car is exposed and you have to arm it. That is when I suggest a battery tender/maintainer so the car is freshly charged at all times.

Last little bit....you may want to SLIGHTLY...and I mean SLIGHTLY over inflate your tires a bit. Air is going to escape from your tires...its physics...so....if your car is sitting...and used once in awhile it is best to just put a couple #s more air pressure...so the tires are ready and wont warp etc.

and Kslater....Eli and Rich here sell the Porsche Battery Maint..I saw it yesterday at the show! So hit them up for it...I am sure you will get a good price. If I didnt already have one I would of bought the one they had yesterday.
