Would not driving my car cause a rough idle?

I was out in my driveway this morning and I moved my 7. I drove it down the driveway to the end and turned off the key but let the turbo timer run for two minutes. When I was walking away, I noticed that while it seemed to run good when I drove it in the drive...it was idleing a little rough. I went back to the car and gave it gas, which smoothed it out a bit. Then the turbo timer shut off and I didn't restart the car. Could me never driving the car have something to do with the rough idle. I've only had it out a couple of times since the winter. Thanks for your help

Todd

Most likely. And your gas could be rotting. Just drive it some more and see if things get better.

That was the other thing that I thought about.....maybe my gas is bad. Oh well, I just needed someone to confirm my beliefs so it would help me feel better about it....LOL.
