This. I often go 14 days without driving my car in the summer. It comes in and out of the garage the same whether its 14 days between trips or 1 hour between trips.

You don't need to do anything special. Your battery will be fine so long as your drives are 15-20 minutes or more to provide a good re-charge.

How do you go 2 weeks without driving it in the summer?

I have a motorcycle and I still drive the S at least 3X per week all summer.

I have a partner and a child. We don't all fit in the S2000. So if my weekends are full, the car sits on the weekend too. Daily duty is spent in one of our sedans.

I use the car when working nights, road trips sans child, and track days. Using it for these purposes only, I get 8k-12k a year depending on if I go to the Dragon once or twice.
