Default Car hasn't seen the streets in two years

Hi guys, just as my title says. My 91 vert has not seen the streets in 2 yrs. She's got heads cam intake gears. I start her once in a while. Move her up and down my driveway just so the internals don't freeze on me. My question is under neath is a lot of cob webs, from your experience do cob webs or spiders ruin your car that's been out that long? Or does anything break if you don't use the car? It may be a stupid question but I was just curious. Thanks!

Not to insult you but make sure you use fuel stabilizer, and If you ever do decide to drive it agian change the oil right away.

do you recommend a brand of fuel stabilizer? Sorry for a noob question but this is really my first time keeping a car not being on the streets

Please do yourself a favor and go down the road and spin everything (tires included) and you will be more happy.

if it has been run up and down the driveway a good bit, it may just need some new gas and an oil change. If it has been sitting a long time, it is possible it may need a fuel pump soon.

What's the reason it's not been driven.... why not get it on the road and enjoy it?

I want to enjoy her but right now I can't due to money issues. Can't afford to insure her right now. I also live in socal so smog is tough here. I have my hook ups but it will also cost me $. I do miss that car though, everytime I fire her up it rattles my condo community
