Infrequent driving
I am moving real close to work. Actually, I can walk which frees up gas money for mods! Any opinions on maintianence if I only drive the car on the weekends? Gracias!

Just change the oil more frequently.
It's not too good for a car when it's doing allot of cold starts followed by very short trips in which the oil doesn't have a chance to get hot.
The oil doesn't have enough time to get up to a nice hot temp so that it can evaporate any moisture, acids, i.e. "bad unwanted stuff". Basically your oil gets contaminated allot quicker.
If I were you and it's a walking distance, I'd walk if it is a nice day. In the rain or some nasty weather, I'd probably take the car. Never the less, I wouldn't use it to start....drive a couple of blocks, park and do it all over again going back home on a daily basis.
Unless you use it during the evenings giving it a good drive.
