4. Change of parking conditions (e.g., if I ever end up being transferred to downtown Los Angeles, I would drive my Porsche less and drive a beat-up truck.
5. It is not just Porsches that get driven less. It could be any car.

I could go on. I say, "vehicles not driven frequently" should not even be a subject matter.

+++ All of the above for me....

+1 trickle charger and stabil. incremental maintenance costs and well worth it. put pads under your tires for much longer stays to avoid flat spotting.

It plugs into the cigarette lighter. I was nervous the first time I used it, as any trickle chargers I've used in the past on other vehicles were those pain in the *** types that you have to connect directly to the battery. This system is so easy to connect and does its job extremely well

Seriously? Why does this keep coming up. Sell the car. Really, if thats a concern, sell the car.

The car, if the battery isn't shot, will be JUST FINE sitting for a month. Sheesh!

If you haven't been driving it for a while, I'd say go out and drive it for 45mins to an hour to make sure the battery is properly charged up, and on the way home, stop of at the gas station and fill up the tank, and then park it and stop worrying about it.
