How long would you allow your car to sit without being ran? Engines need to run, tires need to roll.
Mine sat for 8 months because it needed some work and I didn't have the funds to fix it, turns out it was a rear wheel bearing and not the rear differential like I thought it was (made the same noises as the diff had about 5 years previously, that was a $1200 fix so I was saving to do it while the wife drove the truck and I drove her minivan). Absolutely no negative effect. My uncle has a minivan that he drive once or twice a year when he comes back to visit from Japan, never once had an issue with it. Plenty of folks have motorhomes that sit for 6-8 months at a time and then fire up and use them for their trips. Why some folks think that engineers fail to design engines to self lubricate in the first few seconds I have zero clue.
