Let sit or start ?

of starting it cold and then spoiling the oil with blowby and condensation.

I park mine, put the battery on a maintainer, and take it out for a long drive only when it has been warm enough for a long time for the summer tires to work. I try never to start it and not take a long drive...there are times like into the garage after a car wash when a short drive is unavoidable. I want all the oils and greases warm to hot and the tires working when I drive.

I've stored the car in a garage and outside at the end of an extension cord under a Noah fabric cover..each for weeks or months at a stretch.

All the mechanics I've ever talked to have recommended the no-start storage.
