Have any of you commuters decided to keep a car in base, to use when you're stuck or on reserve? As the kids get settled in school, I'm coming to terms with the idea of being a long term commuter. I'd like to keep a car in base (ORD) so that it's more comfortable when I get stuck there.

I'm concerned about keeping a car sitting for, potentially, weeks at a time if I happen to get commutable trips for a stretch. In the cold Chicago winter. All I can figure is to keep some jumper cables and maybe one of those battery pack jumpers in the trunk. Has anyone done this, what are some pitfalls to avoid?
