I've driven my car about 3 times since moving to Briz. It mostly sits in the back lane. In the sun, catching bird poo under a small tree.
My parents are worried something horrible will happen to it due to disuse. Misshapen tyres, flat battery, seized up engine, that kind of thing. I'm probably naive in things mechanical, but i thought modern cars were above that kind of thing.
Nevertheless, I've managed to find reasons to take it out for a spin every now and then - got it up to 90 kmh briefly on a bit of freeway. It starts perfectly every time and runs as if it's been driven every day. So it seems i'm getting away with the neglect.
Wonder if i should take the blog for a spin around the block before it seizes up too.

depite the marvelous-ness-ness of these modern day car batteries, you should drive your car at least once a week to stop it from losing charge.
That and the fact it's good for the environment. 'Cause it reduces the amount of bike riders on the road... :]
