Default What are the risks in storing my 2008 civic hybrid?

Will be storing it outside and maybe driving once every two or three weeks. Will I have battery problems? Will I have problems with seals? Thanks. I should add that I intend to store it outside, not in a garage. Also, it will be in NY state where it can get cold in the winter. I have read elsewhere that the manual says that the car should be driven 30 minutes at least once every 30 days. Is that enough, or should it be driven more frequently/longer?

Get the radio code and disconnect the battery when you're not using it. The battery will die a lot faster the more it runs down without using it.
