I do NOT start mine. I have been storing it like this with excellent results the past 3 winters. I store from mid October to early April.

There are some excellent winter storage advice threads here. Search keywords "winter storage".

Keys to remember:

fresh oil
wash & wax
stabilize fuel- tank full
over inflate tires to 58 PSI
Porsche battery maintainer
desiccators
park on a sheet of plastic
don't engage parking e-brake, block wheels
car cover
Turn off insurance, except Comp. (fire & theft coverage)
In Spring, hand crank engine by pushing in 5th gear, until you hear engine turn over, then fire-up with key. Then take a 400 mile road trip, buy fresh fuel
