It's a whole lot cheaper and more fun to crank it up every two to three days and drive it around the block...then put it back. IMO...
Our winters haven't been so bad that you can't find 4 days over the next few months to take it out for a spin and keep everything working.
I've done that for 7 years now. Even if I 'store' it at my Mother's house to free up garage space, I get there monthly to start it and drive it a little.

I'm dailying the Accord now, but the S goes out on sunny dry days so far in the cold weather. As long as you're not pushing the limits and just cruising in the cold weather, you'll be fine.

Agreed. If you don't take it off insurance, just drive it for a few miles every few weeks even.

I've read a little about starting the car once a month in the cold weather isn't good for the car??? is this true?
To everybody with the kind offer, thanks alot. I will PM you guys soon.

I am in the exact situation. My parents let me use their garage to store the S. As I live in an apt 90 miles away. I most likely can only start the car once a month. I figure I would save the trouble and let it sleep until spring.
