I own a 2001 mustang gt and it has only 37,000 miles on it. my question is, Is it bad to leave the stang in the garage for months on end with out driving it. I start it once a week but I have a second vehicle and a work vehicle so I don't want to drive the mustang alot. Im just afraid by not driving it all the time im going to harm the engine. I will be honest and say that I hate seeing it get dirty and I want to try and keep as many miles off of it as possible. I also would be devistated if anything ever happened to it. Should I just suck it up and drive it or does anyone else feel the same way.

thats what v8s are known for. They start up everytime even after sitting for a long time. I would reccommend investing in an Optima yellow top battery.

The battery is pulled out when Im done driving it. I keep it in the house and usually place a slow trickle charge on it.
The optima yellow is what Im going for when this one goes...

you should drive it around every once in a while, dont let it sit for months, just to make sure all the seals get lubed and what not

I wish I could never drive mine...It's not even my daily driver and I always want to drive it, I wish I could say no. And I honestly don't think its bad for the car to sit as much as it does.

i just drive mine on the weekends, but just to be safe i crank it every day and also just to listen to it rumble

How and Why do you guys do this? I will never understand buying a car you love and not drive it. It's not like Mustangs are rare or anything. IMO cars are made to be driven and enjoyed.
