Yes it will rust your car faster since you don’t drive.

i am worried with the engine and other components rust,
since rust never sleeps.
If i drive my car in the rainy days will i prevent rust from increasing or it will be even worst, so better keep it without been driven for months ?

Also can someone confirm will leaking from the shocks ,can damage other suspention parts as well?

Just search what happens when you have this type of fuel and you don’t drive often and letting it sit.

If you need to replace your engine, then the drive off a cliff idea is back in play. Rust is one of those things you can't stop once it is present unless you start replacing the rusty components. If your shocks are leaking, then the ride is going to be quite rough and eventually the extra stress is puts on other suspension components could wear those out sooner. But on another note, do you have anything positive to say about the car? Most people post here saying how much they like the vehicle. You seem to just post about what a bad car the Lexus GS Hybrid is.
