Default Car sitting for a few weeks - any special care?

My car has been sitting for about a week in the garage. Should I tell my bro to start it or it's cool just to sit there? I kinda want to ask him to drive it around for a bit but I don't really want to do that.

Should I start my car for a bit and then turn it off or drive it around or it's cool just to let it sit. I'll be gone for another 2 weeks. Thanks!

IMO it won't be sitting long enough to worry about tires, oil, or anything like that -- the only thing is that your battery might drain down, and if you've got an '05 you shouldn't have to worry about the battery yet
