Question for the group.

Here in NE, we are buried in snow.
I have my C7 hooked up in the garage to the trickle battery charger.
But, before the six feet of snow I drove it once a week for 45 minutes or so. Can't do that now due to road conditions.

Any harm/benefit to having the car idle in the driveway for 10-15 minutes once each week? Otherwise I may not have it back on the road for at least a month or more. Benefit might be getting the fluids moving, but a harm might be creating moisture and not getting it hot enough to burn off? Thoughts?

Thanks.
