Winter storage questions

If yoy warm it up, just let it run for 5-10m. You're essentially just warming it up enough to expel or evaporate any water that may have accumulated. Personally, I wouldn't even both with startups. Or at least that frequently. A lot of guys here including myself will just let the car sit from Oct through April. Toss a bottle of stabil in the tank, throw some dryer sheets in the cabin, overinflare the tires slightly, hook up a battery tender, and go make vroom vroom noises in the house within close proximity of the wife.

The above is what I do. Additionally, I put it in a car bag with desiccants and take out the battery, which is left in the basement to charge every other month. The car stays in the garage within it's bag, so no rodents get in.
