   Herd mixed opinions about this from people, have had my car sitting for a few months on my drive which is grass, would this rust the underneath of my car due to moisture from the ground?? it will be there for another month until i sort my insurance out, cheers

   Moisture doesn't rise
   
   plus, it does more harm driving it

   +1 What you have to remember is when you drive any car it gets attacked by salt and stones oil etc which get washed up/flicked up onto the underside of the car.

   +1 my saxo has been subjected to the elements for nearly 13 years now and it's still as much of a rust bucket as the day it rolled out of the factory, i'd be more worried about turning the engine over every now and then to keep everything lubricated, especially the hoses.
