Where do you think that water goes before it burns off? It goes nowhere it stays in the engine/exhaust. Short trips are harder on a car then letting it fully warm up and being driven. And I don't mean letting it warm up engine temp wise. Starting the car up and letting it run or taking it for a short drive has no benefit to it at all. These are not cars built in the 1930's where it needs to be run and up kept. If your just storing it for the winter, say from Nov to April there is 0 need for the car to be run at all. Ive had Mustangs since I was 17 five of them in total and 4 of them were stored in the winters and I never started any of them up during the winter and Ive never had any problems at all with them starting up in the spring and no adverse effects were seen from it. If you want to start it up and have all that condensation and water sit in your exhaust system then by all means start it up if it somehow makes you feel better. I'm throwing some stibul in mine this week and pulling the battery and it will be fine until april/may and I have not started it since Aug.Mine sat just shy of two years and this is what it did the first time I turned the key.[video=youtube;-wRDbx_-hXM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wRDbx_-hXM&amp;feature=share&amp;list=UUoLSWi1rnaCS11r5fQ3qR_g[/video]</blockquote>
