You interpreted the question as the former, and I interpreted it as the latter, and I think that we really need the OP to return to the thread in order to clarify the question.

If car is going to be stored over a long period of time, then--yes--I agree with your approach.
If the car is going to be driven only a few times each year, then my approach would be the way to go.

Sunset2000--Can you clarify exactly what type of "sitting" this car will be doing?

Smart. Yes, it was the latter. Would a car be okay if it's only being driven weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

Not if it were only 2 miles a trip no, as stated previously, the more 2 mile trips, the worse it is for the car.

Probably a dumb question, but what about frequent 4 mile trips?

Yup, it is
Read back through the thread on recommendations

The longest lasting cars are those that have a lot of highway driving.

I agree....... and can't say it any better.
