What happens to your car if you seldom drive?
Driving the car for several miles wakes up the transmission, brakes, suspension, power steering, climate system (including the air conditioner) and all the fluids, seals and gaskets for those components that have been on a long snooze. Batteries slowly lose their charge when they sit idle, and starting the car will drain it even more.

How big of a driveway do I need for two cars?
Width for two cars – minimum 18 feet. Driveway is 12 feet wide. I like the look of more narrow driveways so opt for 9 to 10 feet if it makes sense for your vehicles and design. I rarely design driveways to be wide enough to fit two cars at the street entry.
When was the last time you drove your car?
