Just curious. I've noticed that several folks have a harem of a half dozen Mercs. I say harem because I know we treat our cars like ladies (ahem, names?).

Anyway, how long does each one sit before it gets driven? When you do drive, is it a longish trip or just a circle around the block?

How long would you let one lay idle before having concerns about it developing leaks or rust?

The problem that I'm having is that my W115 is always down because it's in some stage of a quasi restoration, sometimes for months at a time. I'm wondering how much down time starts causing problems due to disuse.
