This may be correct if you can run the engine up to temperature and get a good 20 minute run cycle. Otherwise you do more damage to start it than its worth. And as the reason I'm storing my box is due to inclement weather...so that's not feasible. Again, I get what you're saying here, but you haven't convinced me that my regimen is worth altering.
