It's your car so you can do what you want to it. Paint it pink. No one can tell you that you can't. However you've heard from quite a few people in this thread as to what's the best way to ensure the car makes it through not only this winter but several. If you search the forum for winter storage as I suggested, you will find even more opinions of the same consent.

Driving the car around a covered parking garage is not the same as a drive cycle. The most wear happens on a cold startup. So if you aren't going to enjoy the car why would you put it through that wear if you don't have to.

EDIT: Joe beat me to it lol. I'll leave my response as redundancy may be what op needs.
