My hybrid Corolla manual says to start it up at least once every two weeks. I think that's just for the battery side of things, though. It makes total sense to give a car a proper run every so often, too.

Cool, I need to hit the highway to get to the grocery I'll avoid letting 10 days go buy between trips.

Thanks 👍

You fory something not all cars are driveable in the winter, so taking it out doesn't make sense

When replacing battery, If your battery area is capable of taking a bigger battery than stock, like 3 or 5 AH more, that will help in having more battery reserve when parked for 10 days or more.
It won't burden your alternator like those ancient stories, so that is nonsense.

ridiculous advice
Most collectors don't have licence plates and liability insurance upon their vehicles. We're not illegally driving cars 3 times per month.
