Exclamation car waiting maintenance

Ok so I might be getting my 06 STI before i get my license back. However, since i don't have a license i can't drive it. I am pretty sure i will get an STI either 2-4 weeks before i recieve my license again. SO.... what should i do when i get my car 2-4 weeks early maintaince wise?? Like do i need to be checking the oil every day or so? what about the gas and oil stting in the car that long without running?? Should i turn the car on every other day so it keeps the oil and gas flowing in my car?? Should i take it around the block once a week? I do not know what i should do to keep this car maintained while I am not allowed to drive it. So please if evryone or anyone can offer my advice on what to do I would really appreciate it. The more the better. Also i will not wait to get my license then my STI, because u never know when i will recieve 1 to my specific needs. (06 sti with warranty) ty for your time and consideration.

Since you can't really take it out just start it once a week or two weeks.
Let it idle for 15-20 mins. You shouldn't have a problem with getting flat spots on your tires, its only sitting for a month.

2 or 4 weeks is nothing. I let my car sit in the garage for weeks at a time.

but why?
