Default S2K just earned Garage Queen status

So now that my S is not my daily driver anymore, is there any advice out there that will help avoid any problems that may be associated with not driving it so frequently? I just think about things like my tires sitting in the same place too long, etc. Sorry if this is a bit of a noob question, but this is my first non-daily vehicle so I want to make sure I don't make any noob mistakes. She probably gets taken out once every week and a half to 2 weeks but it has been a bit chilly outside. It may get more frequent as the weather warms.

You'd have to give more detail of where it's being stored and for how long.

The problem that a lot of posters have is that they give very limited details about their situation and want advice that's specific to their situation.

I would guess you're in Louisiana, but if you want to facilitate quality help... the more detail, the better.

yes, new orleans. It's in a garage with a concrete slab when not being driven. Like i said in the first post. With the cooler weather it gets taken out at least once every 2 weeks but that may be more frequent as the weather warms.

I wouldn't do anything special with that interval, just drive it. Change the fluids based on time not miles and you're good to go.

Get some of those foam garage mats the 2x2 size and put one under each wheel.

Just keep your Prozac and Lithium prescriptions current, and you'll be fine.
