I put mine is the gargage for the winter . After 4 weeks i started it up and it blew lots of white smoke. Im told that this is normal if the car sits for a long period of time.'
The battery just bearly started the car . Will have to charge it every 3 weeks to keep it healthy.

Sounds like my situation. It understandably make one concerned when all that white smoke billows from the exhausts. I'm glad its not unique to my car and appears to be an logical effect of starting the car when it hasn't been run for many days or weeks, particularly in cold temperatures.
