Should I start my car?

I've had my civy put away for a month and a half now.
I was going to install some guages I got but got lazy. So while my car was in the garage for like a month the battery drained.
I can go boost it up again but im lazy[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

So the car hasn't been on for a month and a half and my garage is not heated. Its been snowing here too so my garage is very cold.

In your opinion should I get off my lazy ***, boost the car, start it up and let it idle???

I plan on driving it again when the snowing here stops..

OR should I use the engine block heater? Whatevr that does............

If I were you I would start it up once a week or so. It can't hurt, and your car wasn't meant to just sit. It shouldn't hurt it unless it sits for a long time, but is it really that hard to let it idle for a few minutes?? lol [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
