That's a lot of drive time for most 16m

:-)

Just plug it into a battery tender and you should be good

Twice a month is plenty. I sometimes have 6 week gaps between drives.

These motors really need to be driven. Babied and stored Fcars tend to put down weaker dyno numbers, have far more documented gremlins pop up then the ones being used on a regular basis. Saving the car for the next owner is not the greatest strategy....

The car is meant to serve you as a source of enjoyment not the other way around.
