Interesting that my purist vete mechanic always told me to shut it off and not to start it till spring. As all that cold then heat then cold creates moisture thru out engine, drive train, and exhaust.
eboEd Zachary....if you DO start the car while in storage, you really need to let it run until it gets up to full operating temp, and just let it run a while. This will lessen the chance of moisture forming inside the engine/trans/exhaust, and what moisture there is will be "burned" off. Of course, around here, we don't have the extreme cold temps and moisture(usually..but the past couple of years has been weird), so we don't have the same moisture issues as youse Yankee fellers(and fellettes) have.
