I did this myself, unintentionally of course. I inherited a car but didn't have a driver's license, so the car stayed on the driveway for roughly a year until I got around to getting the license. I did do some minimal maintenance on it - every once in a while I'd go out and start the engine, I moved it slightly back and forth in the driveway to ensure that the wheels weren't always in the same position, and I trickle-charged the battery once or twice when it wouldn't start.

The car seemed to come out of the experience perfectly fine. I needed to change the battery about another year later, after I'd been driving it a while, but I'm sure that's just because the battery was super old to begin with.
