Default Quick question for car gurus lurking around here

Long story short, I wont be able to drive my car for a year due to being caught driving with alcohol in my system and being under 21. My question is..will my engine face any harm just sitting in my driveway? I was thinking about just having a friend drive it maybe once a week around town for a bit, or would it need to be driven more? Thanks!

If I were you I'd have a friend take you for a decent cruise once in a while just so you can ride in it. Driving it ocassionally would be easier than storing it if you live in a nice climate. If you do have a friend drive it, I'd make sure it was for at least 15 miles with both city and highway driving, a nice mix. Otherwise, if you store it, change the oil, use some fogging oil in the cylinders, put it on blocks, wash it really well and cover it (indoors is much better for storage).
