Drive it for at least 5-10 mi or 20 mins every couple weeks, its clear enough around here to do that if you are ready to take advantage of good conditions of dry, salt dust free roads. That is much better than storing the car so to speak because no storage routine by an average person can duplicate the lubrication, motion and use of moving mechanical parts. When you take it out after a couple weeks of sitting, use as many of the cars' functions as you can, switches, HVAC, etc. trickle charge once a week for a nite is a good idea between drives. If you feel special you can change the oil before these infrequent drives.
