I could drive it if I really wanted to... But I'm trying to keep the Millage low and keeping her away from all the sand and salt on the roads.

The funny thing is I told myself I'd never park my car for the winter. My last car was an impreza so I loved playing in the snow before.

You can just leave your car running once a week or a couple of mins.

Usually biker like myself keep motorcycle run at least once a week during the winter season.

I always thought idling was bad for your car?

One of the worst things you can do. Idling for a few minutes will cause excessive moisture buildup in the engine and oil, and in the exhaust system. If you are going to lay it up for the winter than prepare for it and just let it sit. To each their own.
