I agree the winter storage preparation and stuff can be overwhelming and ridiculous, but if your going to store the car you might as well do it properly.
I am just going to drive mine all winter, and if you can commit to driving it once a week then do that.
But driving it once a week or more should consist of at least 30-ish miles. Don't say you will drive then, never drive it, that will hurt the car.
You are probably better off just storing it because you may not get good driving days every week and you will need all-season or snows to driving in 40 degree or lower weather.
Just my $0.02!
