Negative effects to your Porsche vehicle if it sits too long
Vehicles are like bodies and they need their exercise too. If they are stationary for too long they may break down and not function the way they are supposed to. Some of the effects that can happen include a drained battery, gummed up fuel, engine oil deterioration and flat tires.
How to keep the health of your vehicle during quarantine
