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

I took it out this morning and gave it a good run for 20 minutes around the neighborhood. Hit speeds at 50 MPH (would have gone higher but was not near the interstate and didn't have the time). The tires were a little wobbly but smoothed out after a mile or 2. I have come to the conclusion (thanks to all of you) that it is best to not just run it in the driveway or garage. It is best to drive it and let all the air flow through the engine.... it also gets everything moving properly (transmission, shifter, tires, brakes...etc). I will probably drive it once a week.... maybe a long drive once every 2 weeks. Unfortunately the car is sitting in a garage at my old place but I will have to get it out of there soon and bring it to my new place. I don't have a garage at my new place yet which is why I didn't move it there sooner.
