Unless she can take it out for a long hard drive to get everything really all warmed up, it's probably better to not drive it all all. More damage occurs during short drives when everything isn't fully warmed up.

I'd go for once a week for maybe 30 mins. Take it on the highway as well.

Drive it at least 30 mins at a time or don't drive it at all.If you decide to mothball the car,change the oil and filter,squirt motor oil into the cylinders and crank the engine without spark plugs,if you hold the gas to the floor,it will disable the injectors and no fuel will go to the cylinders.Then reinstall the plugs.Use Stabil fuel stabilizer in the gas tank.Oh and KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN

30 minutes seems good, but I think you could get by with 20 if she drives it somewhat hard.

Good luck and thank you!
