Lots of cars are weekend cars only--no problem! Not good to let cars set for extended periods of time.

It could cause flat pots on your tires, but if its in a regulated temp they'll be fine. If it was going to it for an extended period of time, I would move the car forward or backward every now and then to avoid the flat spots. Based of your explained situation, you don't have anything to worry about

Doing dealer transfers, I can tell you that the average flat spots will generally correct themselves after enough miles. Truck tires are more stubborn. I picked up one car in Louisiana that sat long enough to drop six inches into the Mississippi delta.
My '02 SS has the wide tires needed for the SLP wheels used then. It sits still during September and October (love bugs) and is seldom driven the rest of the year. No flat spots. The original battery lasted 11 years with an occasional trickle charge.

Wish I could afford to buy a car and let it sit half a year...

When it got cold, I switched out the tires and am still driving my 1LE...
