I now bicycle commute to work, and most of my evening/weekend activities are within walking/biking distance, which means that I can go 10-14 days without needing to use my car.
I don't have a garage currently, so it sits outside year-round. As winter is approaching (I am in the upper Midwest) I am starting to worry about the battery, etc.
How frequently do I need to start my car to make sure that it remains functional? Do I just need to let it run for 5 minutes or so, or do I need to drive it around?
My car is 11 years old and not in the greatest condition, if that matters at all.
Any help would be much appreciated!
