My question is, if she's keeping an old car and doesn't drive it, then why is she keeping it? :-) I keep mine because I like to drive it. I only have a newer car because I can't rely on it for long trips.
My situation is that I run my 1997 900 S (135K miles) around 2 days a week and I try to make sure one of those days involves some highway miles. I have occasionally left the car for 2-3 weeks without driving but the car always starts right up and doesn't have any oil leaks. I think it's important to get up to operating temperature once in a while so that moisture gets evaporated off like in the exhaust system. I do try to wash the car before storing it for more than a few days.
