Thanks for your feedback!

Why not turn the car on in the garage......assuming of course that the garage doors are open.

Isn't it a good idea to just let the engine run a little once a week?

Yeah! Going to be a long winter
Worst thing you can do to a car. Unless you get the oil to full operating temp you will get moisture and fuel building up in the exhaust and oil.

Park it, leave it till spring.
