Winter Usage/Storage

I bought my '99 986 in Agust just in time for the end of summer and fall driving. Now it is getting colder (northern NJ). Originally my plan had been to simply store in my garage through the winter. I definitely don't plan on driving it during inclement weather. For me the fun of it is top down cruising on sunny spring/summer/fall days. I really didn't plan on driving it during the winter at all.

Everything I have read about winter storage (draining fluids, trickle chargers, putting it on blocks, etc) seemed to be a monumental PITA. The guys at Autosport Performance suggested rather than doing that to just take it out once a week or so, get it warmed up and then take it out on the highway and run it at speed for a few exits and then put it back in the garage. Also this way when the rare warm winter day rolls around I can take it out instead of just looking at it and wishing it weren't up on blocks.

Any thoughts?
