oh ok thanks all for response… so at most the only thing that will spoil is the battery? Not the engine or anything? Cost at most of the time I will only drive my car during weekend and I wont touch it during weekday.

I was actually afraid that the engine pipe will solidify and will block or something just like the human heart where if you dont excercise frequently tgt with frequent consumption of fatty stuff will make the arteries block and die eventually.

Thanks guys for the reply. Tried to search online verywhere for what i needed to know but to no avail.

ooo thats alot of valuable input from the experts here...conclusion is that a car can be left untouched for 2 weeks maximum and the highest risk of damage is direct towards your battery...
