So I talked with a car guy friend of mine and he recommended driving at least a half hour a week to recharge the battery, boil off the water from the oil, and keep the cylinders lubed. Leaving the car just running for a half hour in your driveway is not enough, you actually have to drive it and the higher the RPMs the better. Yea I can't wait to get rid of it and had I discovered biking earlier I never would have bought it in the first place.
