Is it possible to not drive *enough*?

just make sure you take the proper precautions such as fuel savor, full synthetic oil changed every so often (I would say at least twice a year). I have a 2000 GT that I have only put 1000 miles on in the last 3 years total and it still starts and drives like a champ.

Reason I ask, I've got a '99 with 17000 miles on it. I drove it approx 1000 miles this year and now it's sitting under a blanket in a heated garage for probably another 4 months...


I've already replaced a couple pulleys (upper idler/tensioner). Is it a reasonable worry that non-use could contribute to other bits degrading? If so, which ones in particular?


I wish winter would hurry up and die already.

I thought about doing that, but I've got the insurance dropped to comp only.

It'd be my luck, something would happen. It'll just make it all that more fun when it comes out of hibernation in a couple months.

+1 same here, I also recommend a battery tender/trickle charger.
