Re: Garage Queens! How Often Should You Drive Your Car??

Here's my opinion after reading many articles on the subject over the years. If you can't bring your car up to full temperature by driving it, your better off leaving it sit without starting it. Starting it and just letting it idle creates engine condensation, moisture, and contamination that is very detrimental.

Also, starting a car and letting it idle in the driveway to warm up in cold weather for your comfort is not so great. Once a vehicle is started cold, it should be driven gently to warm it to temperature as soon as possible. Then drive it hard if you desire!
