I do the same thing Mr. Burns. In fact its in the garage again today and I have walked to work. I think in the last month I have only driven it about 4-5 days. There was one stretch where it sat in the garage for a week and I backed it out and let it run for about 20 minutes with no accessories on. I've had no issiues at all KOW. I will say this Snow sucks, Cold weather sucks and winter sucks! That about covers it.
