There's no need to have somebody drive it. It just wastes gas and actually causes more wear and tear. Follow these steps and your car will not suffer from storage.

1. Change the oil and filter
2. Fill the tank to the top and use stabil. Make sure to run it long enough to allow stabil to circulate through the entire fuel system.
3. Remove the battery and get a trickle charger. Normal car batteries are damaged when they just sit too much and discharge.
4. Put it on jack stands so you don't flat spot the tires. I've learned this one the hard way.
5. Store it inside with a quality car cover. Don't use a regular tarp because it will ruin the finish. Leaving it uncovered isn't all that bad if it's kept inside. Just be prepared for a lot of dust to settle on it.
6. After a year, synthetic oil might still be good, but I would probably change it again it to be safe.
